Hajji Musa Misango, a prominent ally of Bobi Wine and influential figure in Eastern Uganda during the 2021 general elections, has officially left the National Unity Platform (NUP) and joined the People Power Front (PPF).
Misango, well-known for his community work, previously served as a Senior ICT Personnel for a major telecommunications company in Uganda.
He has also taken part in United Nations missions in South Sudan and West Africa, while overseeing business ventures across Uganda.
During his time in NUP, Misango played a key role as a member of the Elections Management Committee. His responsibilities included organizing elections, selecting candidates, and mobilizing the electorate in Eastern Uganda.
He contributed heavily to the internal processes of candidate selection and was trusted with ensuring a smooth political strategy in the region.
However, after the 2021 elections, Misango reportedly had a fallout with Bobi Wine. Disagreements within the party, described as “mafia-like politics,” caused a rift, with Misango feeling disillusioned by the lack of clear direction from the party leadership regarding the post-election period.
Misango is now part of a growing list of leaders who have left NUP to join the People Power Front. Among this group are prominent figures such as Spartan Mukayyi, who handles operations both in Uganda and the Diaspora for the PPF, and Roy Ssemboga, the former head of institutions for the People Power Movement.
His move to PPF is expected to shake the political landscape, particularly in Eastern Uganda, where he has a significant following. Misango is now aligned with the People Power Front, which recently gained official registration with the electoral commission.
With the People Power Reunion event planned for November 23, 2024, and renewed efforts toward organizing and revitalizing the movement, the political future of PPF seems poised for growth ahead of the 2026 general elections.
PPF’s actions in the coming months will be closely watched as the group prepares to make an impact on Uganda’s political scene once again.
