When was Denmark Adios nominated for MP seat?
Adios was recently nominated to represent the party in the upcoming 2026 General Election for the Mbarara City South Division seat.
He was nominated during the Ankole regional PFF conference held on July 30.
Adios ran for Western Uganda Youth MP in the 2021 polls under the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party, although he lost amid claims of voter irregularities.
He remained an outspoken voice in the opposition, recently criticising the limited visibility of opposition political parties in the Ankole sub-region.
In July 2024, Adios was among 36 opposition members deported from Kisumu City, Kenya, where they were accused of undergoing training in terrorist activities.
They were charged on July 29 and were awaiting a court hearing at the time of his death.
