Daudi Kabanda
The Chief of Defence Forces and PLU chairman General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has announced a fresh restructuring within the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), signaling continued growth of the political pressure group just three years after its formation.
In a statement shared publicly, Muhoozi said the organisation’s rapid expansion and rising popularity across Uganda had necessitated the creation of an additional office dedicated to the Chairman’s functions.
The move, he noted, is intended to streamline leadership operations and accommodate the increasing scale of PLU activities nationwide.
“Since PLU has expanded immeasurably in just three years because of our popularity with Ugandans, I shall open a second office, just for the Chairman PLU,” Muhoozi stated.
As part of the changes, Hon. Daudi Kabanda has been appointed to oversee the new office on behalf of the Chairman.
Muhoozi confirmed the appointment, describing Kabanda as the designated head responsible for managing the affairs of the Chairman’s office within the league.
“Hon. Daudi Kabanda is appointed the Head of my office as Chairman of Patriotic League of Uganda,” he added.
Kabanda, a known political figure and Member of Parliament, is expected to play a central administrative and strategic role in coordinating PLU operations linked directly to the Chairman’s agenda.
His appointment reflects growing efforts within the organisation to formalise structures as it transitions from a mobilization platform into a more established political force.
The Patriotic League of Uganda has, in recent months, gained visibility through nationwide mobilization campaigns and public engagements led by Muhoozi and his allies.
Supporters have framed the movement as a vehicle for youth engagement and national unity, while critics continue to question its long-term political intentions.
The creation of a Chairman’s office, separate from existing structures, may indicate a shift toward more centralized leadership and operational efficiency within the group.
This latest development comes amid broader political realignments in Uganda, where emerging movements and alliances are positioning themselves ahead of future electoral cycles
