Patriotism. Transformation. Unity.
Launched on 7 February 2024 in Naguru, Kampala, the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) is the civic movement chaired by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. We organize the energy of young Ugandans into a disciplined force for patriotism, transformation, and unity within the NRM tradition.
"We do not look for government jobs. Our primary interest is the transformation of our country and people."
— GEN. MUHOOZI KAINERUGABA, NATIONAL CHAIRMAN, PLU
PLU describes itself as a civic organization and political pressure group operating within the National Resistance Movement framework. As Gen. Muhoozi declared in June 2026, "PLU is the very powerful and dynamic youth wing of NRM. It has taken us 10 years to realise our dream."
From the original MK Movement that grew out of birthday rallies in 2021, to the formal PLU launch attended by over 50 MPs and ministers in 2024, the league has built a permanent civic presence — anchored in the sub‑regions of Ankole, Acholi, Tooro, Kigezi, Rwenzori, Busoga, West Nile and beyond.
What we stand on.
Fighting graft at every level of government and society — the central obstacle to Uganda's transformation.
Protecting Uganda's lakes, forests, wetlands, and ecosystems as the inheritance of the next generation.
Mobilising young Ugandans to participate actively in national affairs — not as spectators, but as builders.
Preserving Uganda's social harmony across every tribe, faith, and sub‑region.
Anchoring our identity in Ugandan dignity, African self‑reliance, and the NRA/NRM liberation legacy.
Giving institutional voice to Uganda's young‑adult majority within the Movement's tradition of service.
