erias lukwago

Erias Lukwago Ssalongo (born 11 May 1970) is a Ugandan lawyer, politician and former Lord Mayor of Kampala. He was the first Lord Mayor of Kampala capital city. He was defeated by Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo in the January 2026 general election.
He was first elected on 15 January, 2011 during the 2011 general elections. He was voted out of office on 25 November 2013 by councillors after a tribunal found him guilty of incompetence and abuse of office. The Kampala Capital City Authority councillors voted 29 to 3 to impeach him. He was re-instated on 28 November 2013 after the high court judge Yasin Nyanzi ordered Kampala minister Frank Tumwebaze to stop the implementation of the tribunal report that paved way for his censure.
After being re-elected in the January 2021 general election, Lukwago was sworn in for his third term as Lord Mayor of Kampala in May 2021. He was subsequently defeated in the January 2026 general election.
