People’s Front for Freedom Officially Registered as Uganda’s Newest Political Party

On June 5, 2025, the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) officially received its Certificate of Registration from Uganda’s Electoral Commission, marking a significant milestone in the country’s political landscape. This development follows a series of events that began with the formation of the PFF as a faction within the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC).

The PFF emerged from the Katonga faction of the FDC, led by Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. In August 2024, this faction submitted an application to the Electoral Commission to reserve the name, colors, symbol, and slogan for a new political party. The proposed party’s emblem featured a mobile phone, symbolizing modern communication and accessibility, while the chosen colors were royal blue and white, representing peace, unity, and integrity. The slogan “Freedom for All and All for Freedom” encapsulated the party’s commitment to broad-based democratic ideals.

Initially, the Electoral Commission rejected the PFF’s application, citing similarities with existing political entities. The proposed colors closely resembled those of the FDC, potentially causing public confusion. Additionally, the application lacked a full description of the proposed symbol and colors, as required under the Political Parties and Organizations Act, 2005.

Despite these setbacks, the PFF persisted. In November 2024, the party officially applied for certification, submitting the necessary documentation, including signatures, a party constitution, and other requisite materials. By January 2025, the PFF had collected the required two-thirds of endorsements for party registration, completing the task ahead of schedule.

The Electoral Commission’s approval of the PFF’s registration was a significant development, especially as the 2026 general elections approached. With this certification, the PFF is now recognized as a fully registered political party in Uganda, granting it the legal standing to operate, participate in elections, and engage in political activities on equal footing with other recognized parties.

The PFF is led by a group of 12 promoters, including Wafula Oguttu, Hon. Ojok B’Leo, Hon. Oduman Albert Charles Okello, and others. These individuals have been instrumental in the party’s formation and are expected to play crucial roles in its organizational structure and in rallying support as the PFF seeks to establish itself on Uganda’s political landscape.

With official registration now secured, the PFF is poised to make a significant impact in Uganda’s political arena. The party’s commitment to democratic ideals and its focus on modern communication and accessibility resonate with a broad segment of the Ugandan populace. As the 2026 general elections approach, the PFF’s influence and role in shaping Uganda’s political future will be closely watched.

For those interested in learning more about the PFF, its policies, and its upcoming activities, the party’s official channels and platforms will provide the most current and detailed information
