The National Vice Chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), Michael Nuwagira, commonly known as Toyota, has cautioned supporters against internal bickering that could cause division and weaken the organization in Kampala.
Nuwagira made the remarks while addressing supporters from the Kampala Metropolitan area during a harmony and reconciliation meeting held at the PLU headquarters in Naguru, Kampala.
He urged party members who were involved in disputes during the recently concluded parliamentary and local council elections to set aside their differences and work together for the future of the organization.
“To all PLU foot soldiers who seem to be unhappy and those caught up in conflicts in the just concluded parliamentary and local council elections, I ask you to consider a ceasefire and come in harmony with party members regardless of the outcome of the concluded elections for the progress of the organization,” Nuwagira said.
He warned that the ongoing wave of disagreements among supporters could undermine the group’s growth and political ambitions.
The PLU National Vice Chairman told supporters from Wakiso and Kampala that unity within the organization was critical if the movement was to strengthen itself and prepare for future political engagement.
“I am deeply concerned. Let us take a step back, pause hostilities now and mend our differences for the future of our beloved country, Uganda,” he said.
During the meeting, several supporters also raised concerns about what they described as continued undermining by some senior members of the organization, particularly through public statements and comments on social media.
They asked the PLU leadership to intervene and ensure that internal disagreements are addressed in a way that protects unity within the movement.
The reconciliation appeal comes just days after Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa chaired a meeting aimed at restoring unity within the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in Kasambya Constituency.
The meeting brought together Member of Parliament-elect David Kabanda and his political rival Henry Muhumuza following tensions that emerged during the election period.
