Members of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) have joined hands with leaders from the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) to boost grassroots mobilization in the Tooro sub-region.
The partnership, officially launched over the weekend in Fort Portal City, aims to secure at least 90 percent voter support for the ruling party by reaching communities directly at the village level. The teams plan to conduct door-to-door sensitization drives, highlighting the government’s achievements while discussing ongoing and future development projects.
According to Henry Basariza, the PLU Coordinator for Tooro, the campaign focuses on honest engagement with citizens.
“We are meeting people in their villages to talk about what the NRM government has done and what still needs to be completed. Our message is clear—President Museveni should be given more time to finish the work he started,” Basariza said.
The mobilization campaign has received strong endorsement from Fort Portal City officials, who have pledged full logistical and political support to ensure its success.
Deputy Resident City Commissioner (RCC) Emmanuel Businge welcomed the partnership, describing it as a symbol of unity and shared purpose.
“This collaboration between PLU and NRM shows our commitment to peace, stability, and development. It strengthens our political foundation and ensures continued progress in our communities,” Businge remarked.
He emphasized that peace, maintained under the NRM government, remains the backbone of Uganda’s growth.
“Without peace, we wouldn’t have roads, schools, hospitals, or investment. The stability created by the NRM government is what allows Uganda to keep moving forward,” he added.
