In a surprising and candid admission, a senior politician from the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) has openly bragged that attendance at party rallies is driven by money rather than genuine support. The politician revealed that large crowds are often drawn to events because the party has the funds to pay participants.
“We Bring People To Attend NRM Rallies Because We Have The Money To Give Them,” the politician reportedly said, highlighting the financial muscle that the ruling party wields in mobilizing voters and supporters.
The remarks have sparked immediate controversy, as critics argue that paying attendees undermines the democratic spirit and authenticity of political engagement. Opposition leaders quickly condemned the admission, calling it a “blatant manipulation of democracy” and a “shameful display of power.”
Observers note that Uganda’s political rallies have long been vibrant and well-attended, but few expected such a direct acknowledgment that cash incentives are a major driver of participation. The statement raises questions about the legitimacy of claimed support at high-profile events.
Political analysts suggest that while money can ensure large turnouts, it does not necessarily translate to genuine voter loyalty. They argue that such tactics may offer short-term visibility but fail to secure lasting political allegiance among the populace.
The politician defended the approach, implying that providing financial support to attendees is a practical way to ensure participation, particularly for citizens who may need compensation for travel, time, and other costs associated with attending rallies.
Despite this defense, the statement has drawn widespread criticism on social media, with many Ugandans accusing the ruling party of trying to “buy influence” instead of winning hearts and minds through policy and leadership.
Opposition figures seized the moment to highlight this as evidence of systemic problems in political mobilization, emphasizing the need for campaigns that focus on ideas rather than incentives. They argue that genuine political engagement requires informed choice, not financial inducements.
The politician’s comment also fuels ongoing debates about electoral fairness and transparency in Uganda, with watchdog organizations pointing to such practices as a potential threat to the integrity of the democratic process.
As Uganda approaches the 2026 elections, this admission is likely to intensify discussions about the role of money in politics and the need for reforms that prioritize citizen engagement over financial influence
