The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) is set to resume political and civic activities across the country such as establishment of leadership structures under the direction of its chairman, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba who is also the Chief of Defense Forces.
This was announced by the Secretary General David Kabanda, while addressing the media at PLU headquarters in Kampala.
Kabanda who is also the Kasambya County MP said the league which is now a pressure group will begin by establishing leadership structures at every level of society from the village to the district to ensure coordinated mobilization for President Yoweri Museveni ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Kabanda said the league aims to deliver at least 80 percent of the national vote for President Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer.
Museveni is currently 81 year old and will be seeking another term of office to extend his presidency beyond 40 years.
Kabanda dismissed suggestions that the PLU is attempting to dominate the NRM or control its internal processes.
According to Kabanda, the Chairman of the League, General Muhoozi, is the sole authority responsible for making appointments and providing strategic guidance.
The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) evolved from the MK Movement, which started as a group organizing birthday parties for Gen Kainerugaba. On February 7, 2024, the MK Movement was officially rebranded as the PLU.
