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.
