Other leaders elected, who will serve for two years, include Lulume Bayiga, the Member of Parliament for Buikwe South, who will serve as the party's deputy chairperson in Buganda, while Ssemujju Ibrahim Nganda (MP, Kira Municipality) becomes the party’s Secretary General.

It has also been noted that Dr. Kizza Besigye will not contest any elective position within the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), as his role as Chair of the Council of Eminent Persons, the party’s highest advisory body, prevents him from running for office.

The People's Front for Freedom (PFF) held its first National Convention in Kampala on Tuesday, July 8, following its official registration on June 5.

The event drew representatives from various political parties, marking a key step in PFF’s political journey.
