Gertrude Nakabira Lubega (1962 – 19 January 2020) was a Ugandan politician who served as Lwengo District's designated woman MP from 2011 until 2016. Prior to her election, she had a decades-long career in education, culminating in becoming Education Officer of Sembabule District.
Gertrude Nakabira Lubega was born in 1962.[1] She previously worked as a teacher and education consultant, spending thirty-five years in the former career.[2] In 2005, she became Education Officer of Sembabule District, serving until 2010.[2]
In the 2016 Ugandan general election, she decided to leave the designated women representative seat in order to campaign for the Bukoto County South seat.[5][1] However, she faced accusations of academic credential fraud during the campaign, including a discrepency between her declared date of junior education completion and her birth date.[1] In the end, she lost to Muyanja Mbabaali and left Parliament.[6]
After years of ill health, she was eventually admitted to Nsambya Hospital, where she died from cancer on 19 January 2020, aged 57.[2][7] She was later buried in Kibengo, Sembabule District on 22 January.[7]
She lived in Lwengo.[2] She had an older sister named Irene Nakabira.[1] She married Emmanuel Lubega in 1988.[4]
