Nathan Nandala Mafabi, the Secretary General of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), has gained support from some party leaders in the Ankole sub-region to run for president in Uganda’s 2026 elections. This development is notable, considering the FDC’s history and the current political landscape in Uganda.
Key Players in Uganda’s Political Scene
- Yoweri Museveni: The incumbent president, who has been in power since 1986 and won the 2021 presidential election with 58.64% of the votes.
- Bobi Wine (National Unity Platform): A prominent opposition leader who ran against Museveni in the 2021 presidential election.
- Patrick Oboi Amuriat (Forum for Democratic Change): The FDC’s presidential candidate in the 2021 election.
FDC’s Potential Candidates
While Mafabi has garnered support, other potential candidates within the FDC may also throw their hats into the ring. It’s essential to monitor the party’s dynamics and alliances leading up to the 2026 elections.
To stay updated on Uganda’s 2026 elections and the FDC’s potential candidates, I recommend following reputable news sources, such as Uganda’s leading newspapers or international news outlets covering African politics.
