Democratic Front Gathers Momentum at Masaka Delegates Meeting

Under the calm skies and lush gardens of Laston in Masaka City, something quietly powerful unfolded today. Delegates from across the country gathered—not in defiance, nor in protest—but in hope. Hope for a new kind of politics. Hope for a fresh voice. Hope in the form of the Democratic Front (DF), led by its National Coordinator, Hon. Mathias Mpuuga.

The event, set in a venue better known for weddings than political awakenings, had the atmosphere of a grassroots revival. No blaring sirens or heavy security presence—just folding chairs, handwritten notes, and the echo of voices ready to be heard.

For Mpuuga, this wasn’t just another political meeting. It was a homecoming.

Standing before a sea of familiar faces—some of whom had known him since his school days—Mpuuga spoke not just as a politician, but as a son of Masaka. His words carried weight, laced with the authenticity that only local soil can provide.

“We are here to write a new chapter,” he told delegates. “A chapter rooted in values: integrity, service, and community.”

The crowd, a blend of elders, youth leaders, teachers, boda boda riders, and religious leaders, responded not with applause alone, but with nods and silent affirmation. They were listening. And, more importantly, they believed.

Unlike the high-stakes political rallies that dominate Kampala, this gathering had a different tone. Delegates mingled freely, sharing food and stories, with party literature passed around like family albums. A temporary electoral committee set up a modest table under a tent, accepting nomination forms for the upcoming internal elections on June 26.

“This is not about who shouts the loudest,” said Miriam Nanteza, a delegate from Rakai. “It’s about building something from the ground up. Something that’s ours.

The Democratic Front is still young—barely a month old since its unveiling in Kampala. But in Masaka, it already feels alive. Delegates were not only being oriented on party structures but encouraged to shape them. Many are first-time participants in politics, drawn in by the promise of fairness and openness.

The excitement is real. But so are the questions.

“Can DF really last?” one local councillor asked quietly during a break. “We’ve seen parties come and go, especially around election time.”

It’s a fair concern. Mpuuga, after all, has shifted political homes over the years—from DP to NUP, and now to DF. But to those gathered at Laston Gardens, his return to grassroots politics seemed less like a departure and more like a restart.

As the day drew to a close, delegates were reminded of what’s next. On June 27, the DF will officially launch at Kijjabwemi Playground, just a short drive from where today’s meeting was held. It’s expected to draw larger crowds—and more national attention.

For now, though, the work is quiet and deliberate. Names are being submitted. Committees are being formed. Ideals are being tested in real conversations.

“We are not here to copy anyone,” Mpuuga said in his closing remarks. “We are here to lead with conscience. To serve, not to rule.”

The Democratic Front may be the new kid on Uganda’s political block, but in Masaka, it already feels like family. Whether that warmth can translate into lasting political momentum remains to be seen. But if today’s gathering was any indication, the party is starting off on something more powerful than ambition—it’s starting off on trust.
