Ykee Benda has decided against running for the Kira Municipality parliamentary seat, a position currently held by Hon. Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda.
Ykee Benda had previously shown a strong desire to enter politics and challenge the incumbent. However, he has now clarified his position, saying he has no plans to pursue a political career at this time.
When questioned about his political intentions, Ykee Benda explained that his connection to Kira is primarily familial, as he was born in the area (Kireka) and his father still resides there.
I am not going to Parliament so people should stop asking me whether I’m interested in politics. I was just born in Kira and I’m not a leader there. I’m just a leader in many other things but not politics.
