A seismic shift is underway in Uganda’s political landscape, as over 10 Members of Parliament (MPs) from the National Unity Platform (NUP) prepare to defect to Dr. Kizza Besigye’s People’s Front for Freedom (PFF).

These lawmakers, who have remained neutral in the factional wars between Mathias Mpuuga and Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), are seeking a new platform to advance their agendas and challenge the status quo.

Makindye West MP Allan Ssewanyana, leader of NUP’s neutral sect, expressed frustration with the party’s toxic environment, citing constant bickering that has hindered meaningful change and tarnished their reputation.

“We’ve been stuck in this toxic environment for far too long, and it’s hindered our ability to drive meaningful change,” he lamented.

“The constant bickering has tarnished our reputation and stifled our political progress.”

He added that the situation in NUP has resulted in a toxic environment that is not in any way conducive to causing regime change.

He revealed that fellow dissenting MPs, including  Hellen Nakimuli (Kalungu Woman MP), Joseph Ssewungu Gonzaga (Kalungu West), Flavia Kalule Nabagabe (Kassanda Woman MP), Frank Kabuye (Kassanda South), Hassan Kirumira (Katikamu South), Denis Sekabira (Katikamu North), Robert Ssekitoleko (Bamunanika County), and Allan Mayanja (Nakaseke Central), among others will join him in defecting due to NUP’s internal divisions.

However, they await PFF’s official registration and the one-year mark before the next elections, as required by law, to formalize their switch. This development highlights the deep-seated fragmentation within Uganda’s opposition parties, underscoring the challenges of maintaining unity in a polarized political landscape.

As the situation unfolds, observers will closely watch the impact on Uganda’s fight for democratic reforms. Will this defection mark a new chapter in Uganda’s political history, or will it further entrench opposition divisions? Only time will tell.”
