Wandukwa Simon Gyabi is a passionate youth leader, educator, and advocate for social justice from Manafwa District in Eastern Uganda. Born in 1996 and raised in a humble family, Wandukwa’s story is one of perseverance, service, and unshakable belief in the power of education to change lives.

A proud product of Uganda’s public education system — from Mulatsi Primary to Makerere University — Wandukwa has walked the same path as the millions of young Ugandans he now seeks to represent. His experiences of studying under broken roofs, struggling with school fees, and witnessing the challenges of rural youth shaped his mission: to give every young person a fair chance to dream, learn, and lead.

At Makerere University, he served as a student leader — UNSA Speaker, College President, and Guild Presidential candidate — earning a reputation for integrity, courage, and inclusive leadership. His political journey under the National Unity Platform (NUP) is driven by a clear purpose: to reawaken Eastern Uganda through education, empowerment, and honest governance.

Wandukwa’s campaign is not just about politics — it’s a movement. It is a call for Eastern youth to rise against poverty, marginalization, and empty promises. It is a protest powered by hope, unity, and the conviction that the future belongs to those who fight for it.
