I second that emotion

Did you see, by the way, the reports of this defund the police, end capitalism, eliminate millionaires, never-worded-a-day-in-his-life Mayoral candidate’s wedding celebration in Uganda last week? Armed, masked security guards were just part of the hypocrisy.

The celebration took place in Buziga Hill, one of Kampala’s wealthiest enclaves. It stretched over three days, from Tuesday through Friday. By all accounts, it was private, tightly controlled, and utterly extravagant.

The Mamdani family estate was turned into a party zone. Fairy lights draped the garden trees, music poured out past midnight, and luxury cars like Mercedes and a Range Rover glided past heavily fortified security gates.

According to The New York Post, the house was guarded by "more than 20 special forces command unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system set up — all for the strictly invite-only Mamdani event... One gate had around nine guards stationed at it."

Military-style tents appeared within the grounds, only to be taken down once the party concluded. Mamdani’s own private security then resumed control at the entrances.

Guests were seen dancing to local DJs, sipping fruit juices—typical of Indian-style weddings—and soaking in views of Lake Victoria from a two-acre estate that sits behind three security gates.
