The chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has announced several new appointments as the organization aims to broaden its appeal across different segments of society.
Among the newly appointed members are the state minister for ICT, Godfrey Kabbyanga, and two Members of Parliament, Martin Mapenduzi and Jackson Atima. Additionally, three district chairpersons have been appointed to key positions within the PLU.
Kabbyanga has been assigned the role of Rwenzori PLU coordinator, while Mapenduzi and Atima will serve as coordinators for the Acholi and Greater Arua regions, respectively. The district chairpersons appointed include Didas Tabaro (Mbarara), Sam Kajojo (Kanungu), and Nelson Nshangabasheija (Kabale).
In addition to these appointments, Henry Basaliza and Michael Katungi have been named as coordinators for the Tooro and Kigezi sub-regions, respectively. Polly Karamuzi and Joyce Walemba have been appointed as spokespersons for the Ankole and Rwenzori Women representative positions.
These new appointees join existing members of the PLU leadership team, which includes individuals such as events promoter Balaam Barugahara, businessman Frank Gashumba, and Kitgum Woman NRM MP, Lillian Aber.
Furthermore, notable figures within the PLU leadership structure include President Yoweri Museveni’s brother, Michael Nuwagira, also known as Toyota, and Igara East NRM MP, Michael Mawanda.
Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who also serves as the senior presidential advisor on special operations, expressed gratitude to the supporters and well-wishers of PLU after its launch on February 7, 2024. He emphasized the organization’s commitment to promoting national unity, peace, and stability in Uganda.
The PLU, formerly known as the MK Movement, was established as a platform to mobilize Ugandans towards these common goals. Originating in April 2022, the movement has evolved to encompass a diverse group of individuals united in their support for Gen. Muhoozi and his contributions to the country.
