Hillary Kiyaga aka Dr. Hilderman is the newly elected Mawokota North MP
The Nile Post recently reported that singer-turned-politician Dr Hilderman said voters should know that “he will not seek to retain his seat if he does not obtain the National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket for the 2026 elections”.
He was elected MP on NUP ticket during the 2021 General Election, defeating the then-incumbent Amelia. ‘Hilderman’ is the name every guy that dates a lady called Hilda likes to use in moments of sheer frustration.
“Hilda, man!” says the frustrated guy when his girlfriend Hilda is acting more like a girl-fiend. Hilderman is a self-described doctor; please don’t ask ‘which doctor?’ Because we know he is not a witchdoctor, even though he sang the song ‘Amelia’ and was on song when he lullabied Amelia at the polls. The situation was not Amelia-orated by the knowledge that the only hit Hilderman has had in the last few years is the one that knocked out the NRM doyenne at the polls.
To be clear, the ‘Dr’ in his title owes to Hilderman’s singular ability to treat everybody he meets like they are not called Amelia. Yet, to all intents and purposes, he could be the poster boy for a third way between Bobi and Mzee. The other third way, KB, is in jail. To be sure, Hilderman’s oratory may be sub-Churchillian, and he may be something of a yapping Chihuahua when compared with Mzee’s Big Dog Status, but remember Andry Rajoelina.
