The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) has officially inaugurated its new leadership following the handover ceremony for incoming Secretary General Hon. Fadil Twalla at its headquarters in Naguru.
Appointed by Chairman Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba on June 15 to replace outgoing SG Hon. David Kabanda, Twalla’s assumption of office was presided over by Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Oboth Oboth as Chief Guest.
Gen. Kainerugaba commended Speaker Oboth for gracing the occasion and ensuring a seamless transition, while congratulating Twalla on taking up the administrative docket. The Chairman was represented at the function by National Vice Chairman Mr. Nuwagira Michael Toyota, who supervised the proceedings.

The event drew at least 214 Members of Parliament, religious leaders, business figures, and a strong government delegation of 22 cabinet ministers, including Hon. Ruth Jane Aceng, Hon. Kiwanuka Kiryowa, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze, and Hon. Balaam Barugahara. Also present were NRM Central Executive Committee members and PLU Central Committee officials, including Edwin Karugire.
Deputy Prime Minister of Tooro and senior PLU member Henry Basaliza reflected on the organization’s journey, noting that the change of leadership represents a new chapter in its growth and institutional development.
He highlighted the introduction of Patriotic Officer Numbers, which deepen members’ sense of duty and commitment. A moment of silence was observed for fallen comrades, particularly Patriotic Officer No. 009, the late Cedric Babu Ndilima, whom Basaliza described as a committed patriot.
