Susan Makula, wife of controversial pastor Aloysius Bugingo, urged congregants at the House of Prayer Ministries in Bwaise to make thoughtful voting choices in the lead-up to Uganda’s 2026 presidential election.
Addressing her church members, Makula emphasized that poor electoral decisions could impact future generations and encouraged believers to engage in the voting process to ensure leaders align with the church’s values.
Makula warned of potential consequences if voters chose leaders who engage in drug use or support homosexuality, suggesting these choices could fundamentally alter the moral fabric of the nation.
“If you elect a marijuana smoker as president, we may see Entebbe [State House] turned into a ghetto. Marijuana will become rampant,” she cautioned.
On the issue of homosexuality, Makula added that electing a leader who endorses it would risk transforming State House into “a hub for homosexuals.”
Makula underscored the need for leaders who prioritize the values of the church and warned that electing unsuitable candidates could influence church freedoms, believers’ livelihoods, and ultimately, their children’s future.
“The person who wins the election will make decisions that affect both the church and your employment,” she stressed.
Her message sparked discussions among congregants, many of whom voiced agreement, highlighting her call for Ugandans to consider the long-term impact of their vote on the church and society.
