Diana Ampaire Kampe
The political landscape in Uganda continues to heat up ahead of the 2026 general election.
However, more dust is getting raised across all political parties as they seek potential candidates to hold party flags.
It is even hotter within the ruling party, the NRM.
Diana Ampaire-Kampe, in particular, has caught the attention of the entire country. Kampe is leading the race to get to the 12th Parliament of Uganda as the National Female Youth MP.
Kampe has quickly gained attention for her fresh perspective and quiet but effective mobilization. Her growing online following and endorsements from female youth leaders in Western Uganda have propelled her into the spotlight.
But even more, she has an attachment to the Lango, Busoga, Buganda, and Ankole regions.
Kampala Gazette has established that Kampe was born in Apac district in the Lango subregion. She then returned to Kiruhura and joined Kanyaryeru Primary School and later Masaka SS for O level. From Masaka, Kampe joined Kampe Hawa SS for A level. She then joined Makerere University Business School (MUBS), from where she pursued a bachelor’s degree in procurement.

In Busoga, Kampe worked in Buwenge as a social worker. In all her academic and work journeys, Kampe has met, interacted with, and made friends with young people in the entire eastern region.
In summary, Kampe has a national appeal, having had attachments in Lango, Buganda, Busoga, Bugisu, Teso, Karamoja, and Ankole, making her the right candidate as the National Female Youth MP.
Although currently pursuing her political agenda, she is also pursuing her master’s in project planning and management from Heriot-Watt University.
