Shadia Zalwango opted to run as an independent candidate in the recently concluded youth elections in Nansana despite the magnetic pull which attracted most political hopeful candidates struggling to join the Prominent National Unity Platform (NUP).This she says was basically due to not being partisan and avoiding being limited to a specific political party. She wishes to share her beauties with all the youth irrespective of the political party. A reason she used a symbol of a ball expressing the need of more players on her team to mobilize the spectators (voters).
