If the President is no longer there, the NRM will have to choose a leader. That leader will likely emerge from within the NRM, and most probably, the PLU leader will have enough influence to become the party leader” (New Vision – ‘Muhoozi’s PLU will top 2026 Elections – Mao’ 10.09.2024).
The ones saying the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) is an opposition party is completely false. It could never be an opposition party or an outside entity of the government. Especially, when the leader of it is the son of the President and is the CDF of the UPDF.
Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga is allowed to have this “social experiment” and allowed to run a political party as a CSO/NGO. A Pressure Group from within the NRM. Where he sponsors and appoints several of leaders from within to represent within the PLU. The one from the PLU is even appointed into the cabinet too. Therefore, this is a marriage of convenience
The Lion is sitting on the bus. The bus is driving the lion. That’s what is happening here. The ones thinking otherwise is naïve. The trick isn’t that smart. Neither is this a sophisticated progression of the NRM. No, this is a sideshow that’s becoming the reality.
The birthday bashes becoming a political party. The empty sloganeering on Twitter becoming ways of campaigning. His boasting proclamations and determination to run for office. Even if he has been living life on easy mode and been living in the shadow of his father his whole life. He has neither been promoted through honest day work or by the fruits of his labour. The General wouldn’t be where his at without his father. That’s the reality here and he cannot phantom a world without that happening.
The PLU isn’t a reaction to the lacking parts of the government. Neither is it a result of weakness or a structural imbalance of the NRM. No, it is made as a normalization of Muhoozi in public. It is making the façade very obvious and the shadow games of a “Project Muhoozi” obsolete. This is just making the successor as staple and apart of discussion. Like he is a powerhouse and we should see him coming.
There isn’t anything unique or special about him. Neither is the PLU coming in with any significant promises or people of high regard. No, it is a continuation of the NRM and what the NRM has been doing. It would just be changing faces from the father to his son. That’s it and it’s heredity politics. The state of nepotism and kakistocracy at its finest.
The PLU isn’t the opposition and how can it be… when they are already a part of the government and are all associated with the NRM. They are yellow but has a lion instead of a bus for a logo. They could be selling beer, shoes or sell chocolate for all our concerns. If not, it could be the revival of the old English Premier League logo to a new generation of Football fans. However, we know what they aspire to do…
Sooner or later, the words of Gen. Tinyefuza aka David Sejusa will come to life. We are already seeing it on a daily basis. They are doing it with no disregard or concern. That’s because the high above and the high command are all in. This is why we see it and we are supposed to be fooled.
Gen. Muhoozi is only talked about because of his father. Not because of his service, promise of the future or his leadership qualities. His never been in office or in public office without getting there thanks to his bloodline. Therefore, his arrogance and entitlement will be his downfall. Peace.
