In a bid to shape its future, the Democratic Front (DF) National Executive Committee (NEC) is set to convene on September 20, 2025, to discuss crucial issues that will provide the party with a clear political direction leading up to the 2026 general elections.
This meeting is anticipated to be pivotal in establishing the framework that will guide the party’s strategies and decisions in the coming months.
Party President Mathias Mpuuga underlined the substance of planning in politics, asserting that the DF has dedicated the past month to creating a minimum political agenda.
He said, the agenda was developed with the help of a technical team tasked with formulating a comprehensive plan to support the party’s objectives in the upcoming electoral cycle. Mpuuga stated that this groundwork is essential for navigating the challenges that lie ahead and ensuring the party remains focused, and organized.
During the Saturday NEC meeting, members will delve into the details of this minimum political agenda, a vital task that will lay the foundation for the DF’s direction.
The resolutions drawn from this discussion, the party president said will be shared with the public, which demonstrates the party’s intentions and goals as they prepare for the electoral environment.
Issues such as collaboration with other political parties will be scrutinized, reflecting the DF’s commitment to building alliances in pursuit of shared objectives.
Another focal point of the agenda will be the DF’s strategy for fielding a presidential candidate, a topic currently capturing the attention of many Ugandans.
Mpuuga affirmed that addressing this matter is crucial for rallying the party’s supporters, and encouraging stakeholders to engage in the political process.
The decisions made during the NEC meeting are expected to be vital for informing, and supporting the DF’s vision for leadership and change in the nation.
As the DF National Executive Commitee prepares for this crucial meeting, it stands on the point of outlining a vision that could steer the new party towards success in the upcoming elections, and beyond.
