In a dramatic turn of events at the Kahungye Catholic Center in Rwanyana Parish, Counsel Eliab Naturinda Mporera, vying for the MP seat in Ndorwa County West, was eventually invited to address attendees following an unexpected health incident involving the area MP and State Minister for Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Hon. David Bahati who was the chief guest at the event.
The event, originally organized to raise funds for the completion of the Priest’s house, took an unforeseen twist when Minister Bahati reportedly light-headed at the scene. This incident temporarily paused proceedings and prompted organizers to call Mporera to the podium. Despite earlier tensions and speculation regarding his exclusion, Mporera seized the moment to deliver a message centered on love, unity, community support, and the importance of collective efforts in local development.
Witnesses described a palpable shift in the atmosphere as Mporera’s speech resonated with attendees, who rallied around the shared goal of advancing the parish’s initiatives. His call for solidarity and peace struck a chord, bridging earlier divides and refocusing attention on the event’s fundraising objectives.

Following his address, Mporera received a warm reception from the audience, underscoring his growing influence and support within the community. As the campaign for Ndorwa County West intensifies, Mporera’s presence at the event marks a pivotal moment in his bid for public office, highlighting his ability to navigate challenges and connect with constituents on critical issues.
In an unexpected turn, Minister Bahati, while delivering his speech from a seated position due to his earlier health incident, reportedly labeled Mporera and his team as “event entertainers” who lacked understanding of their roles. Despite this criticism, Bahati utilized the platform to overtly campaign in his own favor, urging the Kabale Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Godfrey Nyakahuma to take action against Mporera and his team for what he deemed early campaigning.
“RDC, I ask you to stop them, and if you don’t, I will stop them myself, because I have the capacity”, Minister Bahati said.
