Kampala, Uganda – Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) has convened a pivotal Delegates Conference at Tal Cottages in Rubaga Division, Kampala, as the party sharpens its strategy and mobilizes grassroots support in preparation for the 2026 General Elections.
The gathering has drawn ANT delegates from across the country, as well as representatives from civil society organizations, and leaders from the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), a political entity currently working in alliance with ANT to strengthen opposition coordination ahead of the highly anticipated elections.
The conference, held under tight but welcoming security, opened with remarks from party president Maj Gen (Rtd) Mugisha Muntu, who emphasized the party’s unwavering commitment to values-based leadership, constitutionalism, and building institutions that can stand the test of time.
“Our task is not merely to change the regime. It is to change the political culture of our country,” Muntu declared.
“This Delegates Conference is not just a political event; it is a recommitment to the values we hold dear, integrity, accountability, and servant leadership.”
According to insiders, the conference will review and adopt key strategic documents including ANT’s updated policy agenda and election manifesto framework, roadmap and candidate vetting process for the 2026 elections, coalition-building strategies with like-minded parties and movements;
The presence of representatives from the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) signals continued collaboration between opposition players seeking to avoid vote splitting and to present a united front in 2026.
Delegates from PFF praised ANT’s structured, inclusive, and principled approach to political organizing.
“We are here to signal solidarity, but more importantly, to reaffirm our commitment to work together for change that is people-centered and democratic.”
Also in attendance were civil society leaders, many of whom have worked alongside ANT in governance and electoral reform campaigns. They urged the party to keep championing institutional reforms, transparency, and dialogue with communities.
Delegates from northern, eastern, western, and central Uganda shared reports of growing public interest in ANT’s message particularly among youth, professionals, and first-time voters.
“We are ready to reclaim our voice as citizens. ANT offers a fresh, credible option to the old political order,” said delegates from Lira.
While the party has not yet officially unveiled its presidential flag bearer, ANT insiders hinted that announcements regarding top-tier candidates will be made in the coming weeks, after completion of internal consultations and stakeholder dialogues.
The party’s electoral roadmap includes nationwide mobilization drives, civic education forums, and digital engagement campaigns focused on empowering voters with knowledge and agency.
As Uganda edges closer to the 2026 General Elections, ANT’s Delegates Conference serves as a vital rallying point for re-energizing the party’s base, renewing its policy focus, and consolidating its alliances with other pro-reform actors.
