The upcoming meeting of Uganda’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) Central Executive Committee (CEC) is pivotal amidst rising tensions within the party. These tensions stem from the emergence of the “Patriotic League of Uganda” (PLU), led by President Museveni’s sonGeneral Muhoozi Kainerugaba,
The PLU’s formation has sparked internal debates and concerns among NRM members about its implications. Captain Mike Mukula, suspected of supporting the PLU, faces questioning during the meeting. Some view the PLU as a challenge to NRM authority and potentially to President Museveni’s leadership.
General Muhoozi’s hinted presidential ambitions add complexity, dividing NRM members between supporting him and his father. Despite claims of civic focus, speculation persists about the PLU’s political motives.
Legislator Ssemujju Nganda attributes internal tensions to perceptions of President Museveni’s consolidation of power, leaving members uncertain about the NRM’s future. With the 2026 elections approaching, the party grapples with potential leadership fractures.
The agenda of the CEC meeting remains undisclosed, fueling speculation about General Muhoozi’s ambitions and the PLU’s objectives. Uncertainty surrounds internal divisions and their impact on party unity and future leadership.
This CEC meeting holds significance as the NRM navigates a challenging political landscape. How the party addresses the PLU and internal dissent will be closely watched, with potential implications for future elections and Uganda’s political stability.https://theprism.co.ug/museveni-appoints-gen-wilson-mbadi-as-commander-of-updf/
