Singer Nina Roz (Nina Akankwasa) has made it clear that her political ambitions are still very much alive following her recent performance in the 2026 General Elections.
Representing the National Unity Platform (NUP), the singer contested for the Sembabule District Woman Member of Parliament seat. While the official results placed her in third place—behind winner Florence Nambazira (NRM) and independent candidates—Nina Roz has remained resilient in her post-election statements.
Despite the official tally, Nina Roz has publicly stated that she considers herself the “people’s elected” representative, citing the overwhelming support she received on the ground during the campaign trail.
Similar to other opposition candidates, she raised concerns regarding the conduct of the Electoral Commission, particularly in Sembabule, hinting that the final results did not accurately reflect the voters’ will.
She has dismissed the idea that she was a “failed politician,” asserting that her journey is just beginning. She framed her 2026 run as a foundation for future political engagement rather than a one-off attempt.
While she maintains her political stance, Nina Roz is simultaneously shifting focus back to her music career to capitalize on the momentum gained during the election. She recently hinted at:
After spending months on the campaign trail, she has announced plans for an “epic” concert later in 2026.
She continues to promote her single “Nwanilaako,” which interestingly features themes of fighting for one’s rights—a message that aligned with her political platform.
