Bobi Wine’s Political Future Uncertain as NUP’s Technical Team Moves to Launch ‘People Power Front Party’

In a political twist that has left many Ugandans scratching their heads, the future of Bobi Wine’s National Unity Platform (NUP) now hangs in the balance. Recently, the Electoral Commission announced the registration of a new political party called the People Power Front (PPF), just as the FDC Katonga faction sought to register their own People’s Front for Freedom (PFF). This development has sparked confusion among citizens, as “People Power” is a well-known slogan associated with NUP.

As the saying goes, “When the fish rots, the head is the first to go.” Many have begun to point fingers at Mathias Mpuuga, the former leader of the opposition, suggesting he may be behind the new party. Others suspect Dr. Kizza Besigye’s involvement. However, Mpuuga has publicly distanced himself from the PPF, claiming it’s driven by the NUP Secretary-General, David Lewis Lubongoya, through a key player, Spartan Archilis Mukagyi, a technical expert from NUP.

To uncover the truth, we spoke with the chairman of PPF, Hajji Musa Misango, and the general secretary, Spartan Archilis Mukagyi. Misango, a telecom engineer with a past at the United Nations, played a significant role in the early days of the People Power movement and NUP. He was instrumental in managing elections and identifying candidates across Eastern Uganda.

Mukagyi also has deep roots in the political struggle, having served as a liaison officer for People Power and NUP before taking on a role as acting organizing secretary after the 2021 elections.

When asked why they decided to form a new party, Misango and Mukagyi cited a lack of clear ideology and frustration with the internal politics of NUP. They expressed a desire to bring “mature politics” to Uganda, stating, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” highlighting the need for a solid foundation rather than empty promises.

Their departure from NUP stems from feelings of underappreciation and battles with internal factions that they describe as “mafia-like.” With such key players leaving, many are left wondering about the future of NUP, especially with the 2026 elections on the horizon.

In addition to Misango and Mukagyi, the departures of prominent members like Sulaiman Kidandala, Moses Bigirwa former, the former Secretary mobilization Eastern Uganda and the Dr. Loy Ssemboga from Kawempe, and Mukasa Mukaaku have raised further alarms about NUP’s stability. Kidandala, once a key figure in the party, and Mukaaku, known for his vocal criticism of government policies, both left amid allegations of internal strife and lack of support. Their exits, combined with Mpuuga’s and others’, paint a worrying picture for NUP’s future, suggesting that discontent runs deeper than just a few disgruntled members.

The PPF is said to have a wider support base, although details about its members will be revealed in due time. The chairman hinted at a cautious approach, urging patience as they prepare to unveil their agenda. “One step at a time,” he reassured us.

As the political landscape shifts, one thing is clear: “The night is darkest just before the dawn.” The coming days will reveal whether the PPF will emerge as a formidable force or if NUP will regain its footing. Only time will tell what lies ahead for Uganda’s political scene.
