Members of the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) and the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) this morning, signalling a renewed era of collaboration and strategic unity.
The ceremony, held in Kampala, was attended by key leaders from both political formations and marked what they described as the “first step towards a complete reunion” of the two forces.
“This instrument we signed this morning is the first step towards a complete reunion of the two entities—ANT and PFF—and perhaps other like-minded forces which we are still engaging with,” Erias Lukwago declared
At the heart of the agreement is a shared commitment to non-violent political struggle, democratic reforms, and coordinated grassroots mobilisation across the country.
The unified front aims to present a formidable challenge to the ruling regime, which they accuse of authoritarianism and systemic repression.
Erias Lukwago, a leading figure in the PFF and Lord Mayor of Kampala, delivered an impassioned statement that underscored the urgency and determination behind the MoU:
“No amount of provocation is going to drag us into violence. Make no mistake, also to assume that we are going to turn the other cheek—no! Get prepared to take the bull by the horns,” he warned, his voice rising over applause.
Lukwago emphasised that the collaboration would be built on a dual-front strategy:
“We have agreed to work on two fronts; to continue in a non-violent defiance struggle to dismantle the hegemony of the regime and take power back to the people.”
Political analysts have noted that the move could reinvigorate Uganda’s fragmented opposition landscape, especially in the lead-up to the 2026 general elections.
With both ANT and PFF boasting experienced political operatives and robust grassroots networks, their alliance could prove a significant force for political change.
While the MoU does not yet outline a formal merger, both parties made it clear that discussions with other like-minded entities are underway.
The prospect of a broader opposition coalition remains on the horizon.
