The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) has formally recognized a new group of senior members after its chairman, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, assigned official identification numbers to key political figures and supporters within the organization.
In a statement shared on X on Saturday, PLU Secretary General Twalla Fadil announced that the numbering system is part of an internal recognition framework aimed at rewarding commitment and reinforcing discipline among members.
The move reflects the growing organization of the group, which continues to attract prominent figures in Uganda’s political landscape.
According to the statement, the newly issued numbers were awarded to individuals described as having demonstrated consistent dedication to the growth of PLU and adherence to its guiding principles.
Among those listed are senior government officials and legislators, including Rt. Hon. Jacob Macksons Oboth (PO 059) and Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa (PO 060).
Cabinet ministers also featured prominently on the list.
They include Kiryowa Kiwanuka (PO 061), Anifa Bangirana Kawooya (PO 062), Dr. Charles Ayume (PO 063), Phiona Nyamutoro (PO 064), Beatrice Akello Akori (PO 065), and Lydia Wanyotto Mutende (PO 066).
Other recognized members include Lotte Paul Komol, popularly known as “Kacheri Boy” (PO 067), Jovia Katusiime (PO 068), Denis Hamson Obua (PO 069), and Thomas Lomuria (PO 070).
Twalla Fadil noted that the numbering is symbolic and reflects both honor and responsibility within the organization.
He emphasized that the recognition is intended to motivate members to continue advancing the league’s mission and values.
The development comes amid increasing visibility of PLU in Uganda’s political space, with analysts viewing the structured recognition system as a sign of consolidation and internal organization.
The involvement of senior government figures has also drawn attention to the league’s expanding influence.
While the PLU leadership framed the move as a routine internal exercise, it is likely to fuel further discussion about the group’s role and trajectory in Uganda’s evolving political environment.
