“Museveni deceived our parents, promising to stay in power for only four years, but it’s been 40 years now. It seems they missed the zero on the four” – Mathias Mpuuga MP, (14.03.2025).
“Yesterday, at the Democratic Alliance, we unveiled our coordinators who will take the lead in mobilising the country to spread our agenda. Our primary focus is on pushing for constitutional and electoral reforms as well as a national transition. The violence and all manner of intimidation witnessed during the just concluded by-elections in Kawempe North is strong enough to remind us of urgent need for MEANINGFUL reforms the next general elections. Part of the duty of our coordinators is to go and rally the nation to demand these reforms” (Mathias Mpuuga, 15.03.2025).
The former Leader of Opposition and former acknowledge coordinator in Activists for Change, the Members of Parliament for the Democratic Party (DP) and in this term the National Unity Platform (NUP). That man is now on his quest, his on the mission to create his own party and agenda. Now he wants to be the ringleader and the one to aspire to. That’s why he has created his Democratic Alliance, which for many is “coined” as the Dealers Alliance. I don’t blame it… because it lacks credit and trustworthy to be something else.
Mathias Mpuuga is on a lonely mission. Even if his able to get more people behind him and his banner. Not like his a beloved character or has the charisma of a populist. Neither does he have the backbone or the understanding of the sentiment surrounding him.
Mpuuga is cherry-picking all the hot-slogans and favourable policies. Meanwhile, he will have no mandate or even an organization to bring it forward. That’s why everyone was celebrating the NUP and their win in the By-Election yesterday. Very few was noticing or concerned about the launch that Mpuuga had. This is compelling, because if the DA mattered. The stakes would be there and the headlines would write themselves.
Alas, therein is the problem. Mpuuga isn’t that fella. He clearly isn’t as clever or savvy as he wants to be. Neither is he astonishing organizer or the man who can whip up a storm. That has just unravelled and this is why he has such stalwarts, and other random journeymen joining his team.
This one is falling flat and the Elections Road Map isn’t even released. Just like the launch of the DA and the agreement with Alien Skin. It is all a mockery of an attempt. He needs more fanfare and more hope. It is just desperation and the need for relevancy. Neither is helpful and in the long run… it is just tiring and a marathon he cannot handle. He will run and run, but never ever have the ability to finish. Mpuuga will be tired, fatigued and be out of breathe. That’s what is coming his way and he should know it.
This is a path of self-destruction and it is so apparent. A man who couldn’t be transparent and be accountable for his actions. Are running as a reformer and a game-changer, but he couldn’t even play the game that he was a part of already. That’s why he jumped ship and tried yet another gig to re-elected. This is the gist of it all and the ones running with him. They will regret using and spending time with this. It is a foolish enterprise and bound to end in failure.
Mpuuga isn’t the man and we can all see it for what it is. Peace.
