Michael Nuwagira, popularly known as Toyota and serving as National Vice Chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), has appealed to party supporters to halt internal disputes and foster reconciliation following recent parliamentary and local council elections.

Speaking at a harmony and reconciliation meeting held at the PLU headquarters in Naguru, Kampala, Nuwagira addressed foot soldiers from the Kampala Metropolitan area, including those in Kampala and Wakiso districts.

The gathering focused on addressing tensions that arose during the electoral process.

“To all PLU foot soldiers who seem to be unhappy and those caught up in conflicts in the just concluded parliamentary and local council elections, I ask you to consider a ceasefire and come in harmony with party members regardless of the outcome of the concluded elections for the progress of the organization,” Nuwagira said.

He expressed deep concern over ongoing divisions, warning that continued hostilities could weaken the movement, stunt its growth, and jeopardize future political ambitions.

“I am deeply concerned. Let us take a step back, pause hostilities now and mend our differences for the future of our beloved country, Uganda.”

Supporters at the meeting voiced frustrations over perceived undermining by senior members through public statements and social media posts, calling on leadership to intervene and safeguard unity.

Nuwagira stressed that setting aside differences is essential for rebuilding the organization and preparing for upcoming political cycles, including the 2031 general elections.

He emphasized that internal harmony would strengthen PLU’s position and contribute to broader national progress.

The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) is a political movement that has been actively mobilizing support, including door-to-door campaigns in areas like Kampala to back President Yoweri Museveni ahead of the 2026 elections.

The recent call for unity comes amid similar reconciliation efforts in other Ugandan political circles, such as NRM efforts to mend rifts in constituencies like Kasambya following election-related tensions.

This appeal highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining cohesion within emerging and youth-oriented political groups in Uganda, where competition for positions and influence can lead to public fallout.
