Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF) president Moses Muhangi who months ago declared his intention to contest for the Kampala Central parliamentary seat will be nominated on Wednesday, 22nd October 2025.
Muhangi will run for the Kampala seat as an independent candidate in the 2026 general elections.
Uganda’s boxing fraternity along with musician Pius Mayanja commonly known as Pallaso have already endorsed Muhangi for the battle for Kampala.
Boxing coaches along with boxers have applauded Muhangi for his tremendous role towards the sport of boxing since he took over office and are hopeful he will deliver similar progress in case is elected as Kampala Central Member of Parliament.
After his nomination Muhangi will hold his maiden campaign rally in Kamwokya on Wednesday as he bids to replace Muhammad Nsereko for the Kampala Central Incumbent Nsereko already confirmed that he will not run for the position in the 2026 elections.
