The People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) in Mityana District has launched a vigorous campaign to strengthen its political base as part of a strategy to position itself as a key contender in Uganda’s 2026 general elections.
The party is building structures from the village to the subcounty level in an effort to enhance coordination and grassroots engagement.
According to Dr David Kiiza Ssemambo, the PFF flagbearer for Mityana Municipality, the mobilization drive aims to create a solid organizational foundation capable of delivering electoral victory at both parliamentary and local levels.
“We are building from the ground up,” Ssemambo said. “Our focus is not just on participating but on winning. PFF is here to offer a credible alternative and to become a dominant force in Mityana’s political landscape.”
He revealed that the party has successfully fielded candidates in nearly every local council position — a move he said demonstrates growing confidence and internal organization within the party.
Party officials noted that this effort is part of a broader national strategy to expand PFF’s visibility and grassroots reach, particularly in regions long dominated by the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the National Unity Platform (NUP).
Local political observers say the increasing activity of emerging parties like PFF could reshape Mityana’s political dynamics ahead of the 2026 elections.
The district, known for its politically vibrant youth population and competitive multiparty environment, could see new alliances and shifting voter loyalties.
“The people of Mityana are eager for change and fresh ideas,” Dr. Ssemambo added. “That is why we are investing in solid party structures to keep our message alive and our supporters motivated all the way to election day.”
With political temperatures rising nationwide, PFF’s sustained grassroots organization in Mityana underscores its determination to challenge the established order and secure a stronger foothold in Uganda’s 2026 polls.
