Election Offbeat will be giving you our dear Matooke Republic readers the lighter side of the election. We start of with Presidential aspirant Amama Mbabazi’s gum boots swag.

The suave Amama Mbabazi is always prepared for any eventualities. There was a heavy downpour this afternoon as Amama was set to address his first rally at Nakivubo Stadium.

The grounds are known to be soggy during the rain and we felt sorry for Amama Mbabazi, but he had one ahead of us. He pulled out of his ride in green gum boots, gleaming as he waved to an esctatic crowd that was swimming in the soggy grounds, all wet after being drenched in the rains.

“I thank you for braving the rain. I know the ground is soggy and I thank you for being patient,” Amama told the crowd.

Equity Group Holdings Plc posted a 55% growth in Profit After Tax to Kshs. 75.5 billion, up from Kshs. 48.8 billion in the same reporting period in 2024, marking a record performance driven by its successful strategic transformation. The Board proposed a dividend payout of Kshs. 21.7 billion, translating to Kshs. 5.75 per share, a 35.3% increase from Kshs. 16 billion (Kshs. 4.25 per share) in 2024. Regional banking subsidiaries registered a 53% growth in profit after tax to Kshs. 36.3 billion, driven by strong performance across key markets including DRC, Uganda, and Tanzania, alongside robust loan expansion of 17% in DRC, 22% in Rwanda, and 61% in Tanzania. Diversification efforts were reinforced by strong momentum in insurance, with gross written premiums rising 75% and profit before tax increasing 36%. The Group also delivered significant social impact, investing approximately Kshs. 99.5 billion in sustainability initiatives, underscoring its continued evolution into a diversified, technology-driven pan-African financial services group.
