The era of the MK Movement; the mass of amorphous activities proclaiming President Yoweri Museveni’s son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba aka MK to be the deserving successor to his father appears to have ended.

At an event in the Kampala suburb of Naguru on Feb.07, an assorted group of self-proclaimed MK supporters launched an entity called the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), which they said is the successor to the defunct MK Movement. Supporters of Gen. Muhoozi have for about two years been organising events across to the country to pledge allegiance to his participation in the 2026 presidential.

In an odd coincidence, on the same day that the Patriotic League was launched to replace the MK Movement, a re-appointed Electoral Commission was being inaugurated in a sign that the run-up to the 2026 general elections was heating up.
