Mubarak Munyagwa fires back at King Saha, calls him a worthless P.2 dropout

• Feud Escalates: Munyagwa responds to King Saha’s viral video criticizing his links to NUP and political relevance.

• Sharp Response: He dismisses Saha’s insults as meaningless and questions the singer’s academic background.

• Political Defense: Munyagwa cites his early leadership roles and presidential candidacy as proof of his political credibility.

2026 presidential aspirant and former Kawempe South Member of Parliament Hon. Mubarak Munyagwa has responded strongly to recent verbal attacks from musician King Saha, escalating the public feud between the two figures.

The clash follows a viral video in which King Saha criticized Munyagwa, warning him against associating himself with the National Unity Platform (NUP) in media appearances and questioning his political relevance. The singer accused Munyagwa of attempting to frustrate NUP structures, while also hurling personal insults at the former legislator.

In a fresh interview, Munyagwa dismissed Saha’s remarks as insignificant to his political journey, describing the singer as unqualified to lecture him on leadership or politics.

“His insults mean nothing to me and they cannot shake my political career in any way,” Munyagwa said.

Munyagwa went on to question the musician’s academic background, branding him an “illiterate school dropout” and claiming Saha lacks the intellectual grounding to engage him in political discourse.

The former MP also rejected comparisons between musical popularity and political success. He argued that filling concert venues does not translate into electoral strength or leadership capability.

“You can fill a stadium with fans, even comedians do. But leadership is about ideology and service, not crowds at concerts,” he stated.

Munyagwa defended his own record, pointing out that he became Mayor of Kawempe at just 29 years old before later serving as area Member of Parliament — milestones he says contradict claims that he is a political failure.

He further noted that appearing on the presidential ballot alone was a significant achievement, given Uganda’s population of over 45 million people and the limited number of candidates cleared to run.

Addressing claims that even his father did not vote for him, Munyagwa said this was irrelevant, emphasizing every citizen’s constitutional right to vote freely.

He also revealed that he is not a fan of Saha’s music, describing it as “meaningless” despite acknowledging the singer’s vocal ability.

In a parting shot, Munyagwa said Saha has never consulted him while producing music, and likewise should not expect involvement in his political plans — including party formation.

He concluded by warning that the singer is fortunate the exchange is happening at a time when he considers himself more mature.

“He is lucky he has found me in a period where I have matured. If this was years back, he wouldn’t even be talking in the media,” Munyagwa remarked.
