• Eddy Kenzo agrees with Alien Skin that musicians should move on after elections.

• He urges unity, reconciliation, and forgiveness despite political differences.

• Kenzo says everyone both won and lost in the elections and should now focus on music.

Musician Eddy Kenzo has come out in support of fellow singer Alien Skin’s call for artists to move past politics and return their focus to music following the conclusion of the election period.

Speaking to a news reporter, the Big Talent boss agreed that the heated political season is now behind the country and musicians should concentrate on releasing music to remain relevant. Kenzo said the elections are over and it is time for artists to let go of divisions that may have arisen because of differing political choices.

 “Elections are done. Now musicians should go back to work, release music and let bygones be bygones,” Kenzo said.

He stressed that regardless of who each musician supported during the just-concluded elections, they all belong to the same industry and must unite to move forward. According to Kenzo, holding grudges over political differences will only hurt the growth of Uganda’s music scene.

The Stamina singer further encouraged reconciliation, urging those who felt hurt or wronged by the choices of others to seek forgiveness so they can continue working together for the good of the industry. He noted that elections come with both wins and losses for everyone involved.

Kenzo explained that while his preferred presidential candidate won, not all candidates he supported were successful. He revealed that some parliamentary aspirants he backed, including those from the opposition, did not make it to Parliament. In his view, this shows that no one emerges from an election with a clean sweep.

He acknowledged that his message might sound easier coming from him since his presidential candidate, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, emerged victorious. Kenzo has been a notable supporter of Museveni and actively campaigned for him during the election. However, he maintained that his appeal for unity is meant to help the music industry heal and progress.

In the end, Kenzo emphasized that musicians should now refocus on their craft, rebuild relationships, and channel their energy into creating music rather than sustaining political divisions.
