Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has announced that he will chair a meeting of the newly expanded Central Committee of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) on September 22.
Muhoozi made the announcement in a post shared on his official social media platform, saying the meeting will focus on discussing the future direction of the organisation.
“I will chair a meeting of the newly expanded Central Committee of PLU on the 22nd of September. We shall chart the way forward. All members must attend. Venue will be…” Muhoozi posted.
The announcement has drawn attention as PLU continues to position itself as a political mobilisation platform with activities across different parts of the country.
The newly expanded Central Committee is expected to bring together key members and leaders involved in the organisation’s activities.
According to Muhoozi, the meeting will provide an opportunity for members to discuss plans and strategies for the way forward.
He did not immediately reveal the venue for the meeting, saying details would be communicated later.
The meeting comes at a time when PLU has increased its public engagements and political discussions ahead of future national activities.
Muhoozi, who serves as PLU chairman, has previously used the platform to communicate messages about unity, national development and support for young Ugandans.
The group has attracted attention because of its association with Muhoozi and its growing presence in Uganda’s political space.
The Central Committee meeting is expected to bring together senior PLU officials and representatives from different areas.
Members have been directed to attend the meeting as the organisation prepares to discuss its priorities and programmes.
Muhoozi has in previous statements emphasized the importance of organisation and coordination among PLU members.
The announcement comes shortly after several political discussions involving PLU, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and other political actors.
The meeting is likely to focus on strengthening the structure of the organisation and outlining future activities.
PLU leaders have previously said the organisation aims to mobilise Ugandans around issues affecting the country, especially among young people.
The expansion of the Central Committee is seen as part of efforts to increase representation and improve coordination within the group.
Muhoozi’s announcement has generated discussion among political observers following PLU’s growing visibility in Uganda’s political environment.
The September 22 meeting will therefore be closely watched for possible new announcements, programmes or directions from the organisation.
As members prepare for the gathering, attention remains on what resolutions will come out of the expanded Central Committee meeting.
The venue and full agenda of the meeting are expected to be communicated ahead of the scheduled date.
