BREAKING NEWS!! Controversial Singer Alien Skin Dumps Mathias Mpuuga’s Party, Joins NRM

Uganda’s political stage has taken an unexpected twist after Alien Skin, the outspoken and popular singer, officially quit the Democratic Forum (DF) Party under Hon. Mathias Mpuuga. In a dramatic announcement, he revealed that he is crossing over to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) led by President Yoweri Museveni.

The switch has stunned many of his fans, who have long linked him to opposition politics. By aligning himself with the NRM, Alien Skin has broken away from his former allies and chosen to stand with the party that has controlled Uganda for nearly 40 years.

The artist made his intentions even clearer by declaring that he will actively challenge the National Unity Platform (NUP), the opposition party headed by Bobi Wine. This shows that his move is not just a party change but a calculated step into the heated rivalry between Uganda’s ruling government and its main opposition.

Reactions have been divided. Some Ugandans applauded Alien Skin for making a bold choice, while others condemned him for abandoning the opposition at a critical moment. Social media has been buzzing with arguments over loyalty, political ambition, and whether his shift is motivated by principle or opportunism.

According to analysts, his defection could benefit the NRM by attracting younger voters and music fans. Public figures who cross into politics often bring renewed energy, publicity, and resources, and Alien Skin’s celebrity status could help the ruling party connect with new audiences.

For the DF Party, however, his exit is a significant blow. Already struggling to secure ground in Uganda’s political arena, the party now faces the added challenge of losing a high-profile supporter who once amplified its message and presence.

As Uganda heads toward future elections, Alien Skin’s choice highlights the growing influence of celebrities in shaping political narratives. By joining the NRM and publicly targeting Bobi Wine’s NUP, he has recast himself as a rising and controversial player in the country’s evolving political landscape.
