This is unique in a sense of the former Deputy of the National Unity Platform and previous Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Mathias Mpuuga are now launching his new political platform which is deemed to be called the Democratic Alliance.
That is really compelling as the DP-Bloc are now rebranding and possibly becoming the Democratic Alliance. The name which is like the opposition coalition that Mpuuga was a part of as a Democratic Party member and candidate in 2016. He was campaigning with the DP for the TDA (The Democratic Alliance) and Go Forward back in the day. Now his reviving it in 2024. However, now it isn’t a political coalition to deter and be the alternative to National Resistance Movement (NRM). Now it is the vehicle and the party behind his own candidacy.
Mpuuga is there with Abed Bwanika and other scorned or idle brief-case party leaders who are now ushering in the newcomer. That’s what they are busy doing. Building a new formation and a new party out of grievances with the old ones. As they were suspended and working against the grain within the system, they took part in.
So, the journeymen and people looking for the next meal-ticket is now creating their own party. The Democratic Alliance… the TDA or DA. A new outfit out of the Democratic Party Bloc or the DP Bloc. A new one that failing ahead of the 2026 General Elections.
The ones believing the sincerity of Mpuuga in 2024 and ahead of 2026 is naïve. His already proven himself and shown his character. This man is in it to eat and use the ticket to feast on the state reserves. That what he intends to do and his proud of the fact too. That’s why he took the money and went running. Instead of accepting the issues and following party line regards to the “service award”. Alas, the service award was more important than principal or any sort of dogma. Because his own self sacrifice is worthy of such a vast sum for representing his constituency.
The DP Bloc clearly lacks, direction, vision and what it aspires to be. As it seeking more guidance and leadership with Mpuuga. That’s why Kabuleta left the Holy Alliance and felt betrayed by the DP Bloc itself. As it is steering towards one man and his political ambitions. Instead of building on whatever principles the Holly Alliance agreed upon. Alas, that is the common scenario here.
The DP Bloc brief-case parties and stalwarts are looking for the next thing to make them vibe with the public. They hope Mpuuga can gain that trust and use his formula. As he has been able to get traction and follow whatever wave that is there. Therefore, he is now seeking to change this, but everyone is forgetting that his partly damaged goods now.
Mpuuga MP isn’t a trusted man. His not a sought after leader or a politician. No, he haven’t even cleverly or with wisdom addressed the concerns of the 500 million shillings service award. Other than trying to dodge a bullet and create his own new political platform. That is running away from office and not accepting the consequences of being in office. Alas, what a leader is supposed to do, but apparently doesn’t do.
The Coordinator of A4C has become what he warned that MPs had become. A corrupt and selfish leader. A man who are there for own personal interests and now his starting his own DA. The new Democratic Alliance. The DA on the ashes of the TDA. Soon his Going Forward again too and will ask Mbabazi for advice as well. Peace.
