Nasur Masaba Eyes Return as LC V Councilor for Najjanankumbi I-II
Masaba, who first earned his seat in 2021 while still a student at the Law Development Centre in Mbarara, says he holds that opportunity in high regard and remains deeply grateful to the people of Najjanankumbi who entrusted him with leadership despite his then-academic obligations. “You believed in me when I was just a student, and that belief gave me the strength to serve diligently. I do not take it for granted,” Masaba remarked.
Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Deputy Speaker Nasur Masaba has officially declared his intentions to contest once again for the position of LC V Councilor representing Najjanankumbi I-II, under the banner of the National Unity Platform (NUP), in the forthcoming 2026 General Elections.
Masaba, who first earned his seat in 2021 while still a student at the Law Development Centre in Mbarara, says he holds that opportunity in high regard and remains deeply grateful to the people of Najjanankumbi who entrusted him with leadership despite his then-academic obligations.
“You believed in me when I was just a student, and that belief gave me the strength to serve diligently. I do not take it for granted,” Masaba remarked.
During his current tenure, Masaba has become widely recognized for aligning himself with marginalized and underrepresented communities within Kampala, including street cleaners, boda boda riders, taxi operators, and market vendors. He maintains that being a voice for the grassroots remains central to his political agenda.
He also weighed in on the Kiteezi Landfill disaster, which claimed over 30 lives and left many homeless. Masaba acknowledged the tragedy as a major setback for KCCA but emphasized that his individual record remains untarnished and worthy of renewed mandate.
“That was a dark moment for the city and its residents. As KCCA, we must learn from it. However, I have done my part as a people-centered leader and deserve another term to consolidate the gains we have made,” Masaba stated.
Positioning himself as a strong contender for the NUP flag, Masaba called on party delegates and voters to stand with him once again.
“Entrust me with your vote. I am your voice. As Deputy Speaker of KCCA, I have what it takes to represent you effectively, and with your continued support, we can achieve even more,” he appealed.
As the race for the 2026 elections begins to take shape, Masaba’s grassroots mobilization and experience in city governance place him among the most visible young leaders within the NUP ranks, particularly in the dynamic political landscape of Kampala.
