The final chapter of NTC Unyama begins students choose their last leaders!

The atmosphere at UNITE Unyama Campus was electric on Sunday as students turned out in large numbers to witness the nomination of candidates for the forthcoming Guild elections. The event, filled with chants, dancing, and blaring music, marked an emotional and historic moment for the institution, the last Guild election for the students of the former NTC Unyama.

These students, currently pursuing their Diplomas in Primary Education, represent the final cohorts still completing their studies under Kyambogo University, as UNITE transitions fully into a degree-awarding institution.

The Guild President race has attracted three strong contenders: Bongomin Alex, Tumusiime Moses, and Ochola David Ballack setting the stage for what many describe as a tight showdown. The Vice Guild Presidency has sparked a fierce three-way showdown, with Laker Poshia Lhona, Okot Innocent Olanya, and Omara Jimmy each vying to capture the student voice.

The nomination process was presided over by the returning officer, Mr. Alex Alele, who confirmed that all candidates were duly nominated and cleared to proceed into campaigns.

Following the official nominations, excitement spilled into the open-air campaigns. Candidates addressed the students with promises of leadership, inclusivity, and representation. Supporters broke into chants, danced with joy, and filled the air with vibrant music transforming nomination day into a celebration of campus democracy.

Voting is scheduled for Monday, September 8, 2025, at the UNITE Unyama campus premises. For these outgoing cohorts, the election is more than just a student leadership contest it is a farewell chapter of NTC Unyama’s legacy, blending the old with the dawn of UNITE’s new future.

As one excited student put it: “We are not just choosing leaders; we are writing history as the last NTC Unyama students.”
