Outspoken events promoter Nobert Events, born Nobert Twizire, has declared that the upcoming LC1 chairperson election will determine the future of his political ambitions.
The controversial promoter says he is prepared to walk away from elective politics altogether if he fails to win the seat, describing the race as his final attempt after several unsuccessful campaigns. Looking back on his previous bids, Nobert acknowledged a history of electoral defeats and setbacks but insists this time the outcome will settle the matter once and for all.
With polling day approaching, he says he is focused on earning the support of voters rather than dwelling on the disappointments of the past.
Looking Back at Previous Election Bids
Nobert reflected on his political journey, saying he has contested for elective positions several times without success.
He recalled running for the LC3 chairperson seat in Nsambya Central during the 2021 elections, where he lost to NUP’s Wasswa Araft.
According to Nobert, he later sought another opportunity during the 2026 NRM LC3 flag bearer primary elections.
However, he claims he was unfairly denied the party flag, preventing him from contesting in the subsequent general election.
The raw information provided includes this as Nobert’s account of what happened and does not independently verify the claim regarding the party primaries.
“This Is My Final Attempt”
Now seeking election as LC1 chairperson, Nobert says he has reached a point where he is prepared to accept whatever result emerges.
According to him, another defeat would mark the end of his participation in elective politics.
“I’ve failed multiple times whenever I participated in elective politics. This time around, if I fail to secure the LC1 position, I’m going to quit elective politics.”
He also reflected on his earlier campaigns.
“I contested for the LC3 seat in 2021 and I lost. Then in 2026, I was cheated in the NRM LC3 flag bearer primaries. This time, I won’t be in a position to claim that I was cheated again.”
His remarks suggest he intends to accept the outcome of the upcoming election regardless of the result.
Preparing for Polling Day
Despite his past setbacks, Nobert expressed confidence ahead of the LC1 elections scheduled for July 28.
He said he has been closely following each stage of the electoral process and believes the vote will accurately reflect the wishes of the electorate.
According to him, his preparations have left him ready for the contest, and he hopes the election will provide a clear and fair outcome.
His comments indicate that he is approaching the race with optimism while also acknowledging the possibility that it could be his final campaign.
Known primarily as an events promoter, Nobert Events has also maintained an interest in elective politics over the years.
His political ambitions have included campaigns for the LC3 chairperson position, although those efforts have not resulted in election to office.
The upcoming LC1 race represents another attempt to secure an elected leadership position, but Nobert says it will also serve as the deciding moment for whether he continues pursuing public office.
Why It Matters
Local Council elections play an important role in Uganda’s system of local governance, with LC1 chairpersons serving as community leaders at the village level.
Nobert’s announcement has drawn attention because it ties the future of his political career to a single election.
Whether he wins or loses, his comments signal a willingness to let voters determine whether he continues seeking elective office.
Human Angle
After several attempts to enter politics, Nobert says he has reached a point where he is ready to accept the verdict of the ballot box.
His statement reflects both persistence and realism, acknowledging previous disappointments while expressing hope that this campaign will produce a different outcome. At the same time, he says he is prepared to step away from elective politics if voters decide otherwise.
With the LC1 elections approaching, Nobert Events has made his position clear: this campaign is more than another run for office—it is the one he says will determine whether his political journey continues or comes to an end.
