Businessman Sanjay Tanna has this morning been duly nominated for the position of National Chairperson of the Entrepreneurs League in the NRM Central Executive Committee (CEC). He cites over 30 years of business experience in Uganda and claims that, unlike other organs within the party, the Entrepreneurs League has not ‘benefited’, blaming what he describes as poor leadership.
Tanna was nominated by Hon Omach Fred.
I have been tested, tried, and trusted. Not because he says so—but because he’s shown it. In Parliament. In boardrooms. In the faces of Ugandans whose lives his businesses support.
I have worked with Parliament,State house and I own a number of businesses both locally and internally.
If Uganda’s economy were a business, then Hon. Sanjay Tanna would be the man you’d call to manage its growth. A two-term Member of Parliament for Tororo Municipality, Tanna’s name has long echoed through the corridors of both politics and commerce—with equal respect.
Now, as the Road to 2026 begins to unfold, Tanna is stepping forward once again—this time to vie for the chairmanship of the National Entrepreneur’s League under the powerful umbrella of the *NRM Central Executive Committee.
Tanna: Steeled by Service, Sharpened by Experience
Unlike many whose political careers flutter and fade, Tanna’s journey is a masterclass in steady ascent. Twice elected to represent Tororo Municipality, his leadership was defined by accessibility, economic focus, and a deep, unwavering commitment to community development.
He once faced off against Mike Mukula for the NRM Vice Chairman Eastern Uganda seat—losing by a whisper, but gaining national recognition as a serious contender with staying power. Not one to sulk in the shadows, Tanna turned the loss into fuel for greater ambition, proving he doesn’t just run for office—he runs toward impact.
An Entrepreneur Who Speaks the Language of Business
In an age where slogans often overshadow substance, Tanna brings the real thing. A successful businessman in his own right, he operates across sectors—agriculture, manufacturing, real estate—with the kind of clarity and competence that entrepreneurs dream of and policymakers rarely possess.
To him, entrepreneurship isn’t theory. It’s breakfast. It’s practice. It’s the blood that runs through Uganda’s future. His business empire is living proof of what smart leadership, risk-taking, and a bold vision can achieve. And that’s exactly what he aims to inject into the National Entrepreneur’s League—real strategy, real mentorship, real results.
Under Tanna, the League wouldn’t just be a seat at the table; it would be a launchpad for Uganda’s next generation of wealth creators.
The Choice Before Us: Tested Hands or Empty Promises?
The question is no longer “Who is Sanjay Tanna?” The question is: *Are we ready to put the engine of Uganda’s entrepreneurship into the hands of a man who’s built engines himself?*
As the Road to 2026 picks up momentum, the voters of the *NRM Central Executive Committee* have before them a rare opportunity: to elect not just a leader, but a builder. Someone who understands that real economic power doesn’t come from titles—but from turning ideas into income.
So when the time comes to choose, choose wisely. Choose impact. Choose progress. Choose someone who’s already walked the talk.
Choose Sanjay Tanna — Because Uganda’s entrepreneurs deserve more than speeches. They deserve a visionary.
