Former Hoima East parliamentary candidate and media personality Miles Rwamiti has openly admitted defeat in the recent election, acknowledging that he secured only about 600 votes. Despite the disappointing outcome, Rwamiti struck a defiant tone, promising that his political journey is far from over.
“I got 600 votes with extra, but I’ll be back in the next election,” Rwamiti said, signaling his determination to remain active in Uganda’s political landscape.
Unlike many candidates who contest results in court, Rwamiti confirmed that he will not be pursuing any legal challenge. “I was beaten, and I accept it. I am not going to court,” he stated, adding that his focus is now on regrouping and preparing for the future.
Rwamiti, who rose to prominence as a television host before venturing into politics, has long been seen as a charismatic figure with ambitions beyond the media industry. His concession reflects a rare moment of humility in Uganda’s often contentious electoral environment, where disputes and petitions are common.
Political analysts note that while his vote tally was low, Rwamiti’s willingness to concede could strengthen his credibility among voters who value honesty and resilience. His declaration of intent to contest again suggests that he is positioning himself for a longer-term role in public service.
