Mwesige Albert Kalisya, popularly known as TMK, is contesting as an Independent candidate for Member of Parliament, Bwamba County, for the 2026–2031 term. His name carries deep meaning TMK stands for Tadeo Mukosi Kaliisya, a tribute to his late father. Known for his humility, intelligence, and deep connection to the people, TMK’s campaign slogan, “Make Bwamba Great Again”, is already stirring hope and excitement across the region.
With the powerful motto “Muntu Wahansi Muntu Wabantu” which translates to “A person from the grassroots, a person for the people” TMK is reminding the people of Bwamba that true leadership should reflect their struggles, values, and dreams.
TMK is not just a politician. He is a man of many talents and deep community roots. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning (Makerere University, 2012) and a Master’s degree in Physical Planning (Makerere University, 2016). His professional background equips him with the knowledge and skills to plan and implement real development projects that can transform Bwamba County.
But beyond his academic and planning expertise, TMK is also a legendary local musician, with a career spanning 25 years in the Bwamba District music scene. He has produced over six albums in the Rwamba language, celebrating the culture, stories, and identity of his people. His hit songs such as Mwise Tubine, Bwamba, Ntunabugha, and Nesigiyewe have not only entertained but also united communities through powerful messages.
This rich combination of academic excellence, cultural leadership, and grassroots connection makes TMK a truly unique candidate. He understands both the technical side of development and the emotional, cultural heart of his people.
Now, he brings all this experience into politics not to gain fame, but to give back. TMK is focused on key issues like improving infrastructure, creating jobs for the youth, supporting agriculture, and ensuring better access to healthcare. His independent candidacy means he is not tied to any political party; his loyalty is to the people alone.
Bwamba has a rare opportunity to vote for someone who walks the talk, someone who has been part of their daily lives not just in politics, but in culture, in music, and in community building.
As 2026 draws near, the people of Bwamba County are being called to make a choice: to vote for someone who has proven commitment and connection to the region. Mwesige Albert Kalisya (TMK) is not just seeking a seat, he is offering a new kind of leadership: one built on identity, service, and action.
The time is now to stand with TMK, the man who knows Bwamba, loves Bwamba, and is ready to Make Bwamba Great Again.
