Joyce Bagala, the former Woman MP for Mityana, has re-entered the media world after her recent electoral setback. She has signed on with Sanyuka TV to co-host the lively morning program Sanyuka Express alongside Haffy Powers.
Bagala rose to fame as a journalist at NBS Television, where she anchored the popular Luganda news segment Amasengejje. She transitioned into politics and secured a parliamentary seat in 2021 on the National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket.
In the 2026 polls, she contested as an independent after missing out on the NUP nomination and was defeated by Judith Nabakooba of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Her official departure from Parliament is slated for May, coinciding with the swearing-in of new MPs.
This move marks a significant comeback for Bagala to her broadcasting roots.
