Ugandan MP hopeful Elizabeth Kakwanzi has found herself at the center of controversy after a private video featuring nudity and intimate moments began circulating on social media ahead of the 2026 elections.

The footage, initially leaked on Twitter (now X), has sparked heated debates among users of the platform.

In the viral clip, Kakwanzi, an aspirant for Western Youth MP, is seen showcasing her figure in a revealing mini gown while seated on an ornate couch. The video’s origin remains unclear, though some speculate she may have shared it herself to attract youth support ahead of the polls.

However, others suggest the leak was politically motivated, orchestrated by rivals to damage her reputation. There are also claims that the video might be AI-generated and not authentic.

Before the scandal, Kakwanzi was seen as a strong candidate for Uganda’s upcoming elections.
