Gen Muhoozi merges MK Movement groups ahead of National congress

KAMPALA, UGANDA The leadership of MK Movement Central Executive Committee has revealed plans to form official organisational structures ahead of the 2024 planned national congress.

The significant decision was reached during a meeting dubbed known as “The Plenum,” chaired by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba on Monday, July 10, 2023.

“The Plenum agreed (in principle) that a nationwide organisational structure will be constituted culminating in a National Congress to be held next year,” said Andrew Mwenda, the spokesperson of the MK Movement.

According to Mwenda, the National Congress is also expected to bring together MK movement supporters from all corners of Uganda, providing a platform to discuss the future direction of the movement and strategize for the nation’s development.

The Congress will also serve as a platform for delegates to engage in fruitful dialogue, exchanging ideas and formulating policies that align with the principles of the MK Movement. It will offer an opportunity for all individuals associated with the movement to actively participate, contributing their perspectives and shaping the movement’s agenda.

With the goal of ensuring coordinated activities and effective communication, the Central Committee announced the merger of all MK movement groups.

The amalgamation includes groups such as Team MK, Original MK Army, Team Chairman, MK AGOJIE, MK Women’s League, MK Avengers, and MK Army. The consolidation aims to foster unity and synergy among different factions within the movement.

Additionally, Mwenda said a Central Commission for Discipline has been established with a primary responsibility of maintaining discipline and ensuring adherence to the movement’s principles and values.

The Commission is headed by Hon. Michael Mawanda as its chairperson with the commissioners being; Hon. Lillian Aber and Michael Nuwagira, popularly known as Toyota.

The meeting was attended by top executive members of the MK Movement Central Committee including; Mr Michael Nuwagira, Michael Mawanda, Andrew Mwenda, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, David Kabanda, Balamu Barugahara, and Michael Katungi. Their presence signifies the high level of commitment and enthusiasm within the movement’s ranks.

Mwenda further revealed that as the MK Movement looks towards the future, the decision to hold a National Congress is a demonstration of its determination to actively engage with the wider Ugandan population.

He added that the movement envisions a “New Deal for Uganda,” and as such, party members from other political groups are very much welcome.

“I have since shared my findings with my fellow NUP members, and as a result, many of them are likely to join the movement soon,” said Mwenda.
