Alot of entertainers have entered politics for reasons best known to them and many have indeed managed to scoop parliamentary seats, others mayoral and the rest won councillorship positions. Former Eagles band member, who is currently the CEO of The New Eagles, Geoffrey Lutaaya is one of those jubilating at the moment.
The artist won the parliamentary seat for his home town, Kakuuto under the National Unity Platform and is among those anxiously waiting to be sworn in. During an interview with NBS TV’s Kays, The Olweza singer hinted on the things that enabled him emerge victorious.
“When I’m talking about things that helped me win, the umbrella is at the forefront. The party has been in existence for less than a year but everyone has felt its impact. Honorable Kyagulanyi has always encouraged people to register and vote, which thwy did.” He said.
Lutaaya also stated that much as he’s an artist and is expected to give back to the industry, his focus is going to be more towards the people of his constituency. “Of course the art industry expects me to lobby for it and give back but I’d be lying to you if I said it’s going to be my first priority. My people in Kakuuto are going to be my first priority because they’ve been there for me, supported me and I’m now their hope.”
