Mpuuga’s political career has been marked by resilience and adaptability. Having served as the Leader of Opposition in Parliament and played a pivotal role in various political movements, including the National Unity Platform (NUP), he has established himself as a formidable advocate for democratic reforms. His previous alignment with Hon. Amama Mbabazi’s Go Forward platform further underscores his willingness to confront President Museveni’s government head-on.
The launch of the Democratic Alliance Party is seen as a bold step towards creating a viable alternative to the NRM’s long-standing dominance. Mpuuga aims to unify opposition voices and provide innovative solutions to Uganda’s pressing challenges, particularly as the country approaches the 2026 general elections.
