The Head of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has announced major changes in the organisation’s leadership, shaking up key positions in a new reshuffle communicated on Monday morning.
Among the notable figures affected is political commentator Frank Gashumba, who has been dropped from his role as Vice Chairperson for the Buganda Region, effectively ending his current stint in the PLU leadership structure.
He has been replaced by Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka, who has now been appointed as the new Vice Chairperson for Buganda.
“Hon. Kiryowa is also appointed Vice Chairman for Buganda,” Muhoozi wrote on his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
In the same reshuffle, Muhoozi also announced Fadil Twalla as the new Secretary General of the Patriotic League of Uganda, replacing David Kabanda, who has held the position for the past three years.
“The new General Secretary of PLU is Hon. Fadil Twalla. I will work closely with him to achieve our objectives. I thank Hon. Kabanda for his 3 years of excellent service. He set the standard high for the position,” Muhoozi added.
The changes mark a significant restructuring within the PLU leadership as the organisation continues to expand its political influence.
