Deputy with president in capital (7)
I believe the answer is:
kampala
'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Uganda)
'deputy with president' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'president' could be 'p' (common abbreviation eg in VP) and 'p' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'kamala' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kampala that I've seen before include "Uganda's capital" , "Ugandan city" , "in East Africa" , "Capital of Uganda" , "Ugandan capital" .)
