The highly contested Kampala Mayoral race has finally come to an end and saw the incumbent Lord mayor Erias Lukwago win with a very big margin.

Lukwago was feared to lose the seat to NUP's Candi due to the "political wave" of the Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert led party. This was so evident in the presidential and parliamentary elections on 14th/January/2021 that saw the plarty win almost 95% of the seats in the central region.
