Agaba Gerald PO 113 on the Ground : PLU Coordinator for Western Uganda Moving the Entire Region to Secure Endorsements for Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba 

Mr Gerald Agaba PO 113 PLU Coordinator for Western Uganda

Right now, as you read this, Agaba Gerald is not in an office. He is not in Kampala. He is in the field.

This week alone, the PLU Coordinator for Western Uganda has traversed four districts – Mbarara, Bushenyi, Rukungiri and Kabale – meeting NRM party chairpersons, district councilors, youth leaders and elders, one-on-one, convincing them to openly endorse the Patriotic League of Uganda and its Chairman, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

This is what Gerald is doing now. Day and night. Village after village.

In Mbarara City on Monday morning, he held a closed-door strategic meeting with over 20 NRM mobilizers who have now resolved to work under the PLU umbrella. By afternoon, he was in Bushenyi, where he met a group of NRM youth chairpersons who had been undecided. By the end of the meeting, they were chanting PLU slogans.

“I am telling every leader I meet the truth that is now obvious to everyone – PLU is the energy, PLU is the future, and Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba is the leader who will protect our gains and push us forward. I am not asking leaders to leave NRM. I am showing them that endorsing PLU is the most patriotic way to strengthen NRM,” Gerald said in Bushenyi yesterday.

That is his current message, and it is working.

Currently, Gerald is running a systematic, district-to-district endorsement campaign across the entire Western Uganda region. His schedule is relentless. He starts at 7am with parish coordinators and ends at 10pm with NRM elders. He moves with a small team, but with a big message. He carries PLU registration books, he carries the ideology of patriotism, and he carries the portrait of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

What he is doing now is not mobilization for the sake of it. He is consolidating PLU structures that he himself planted. Every structure in Western Uganda – from the district coordinators to the sub-county and parish mobilizers – traces back to Gerald Agaba. He planted those roots. Now he is watering them and making them bear fruit.

In Rukungiri, he was seen meeting a very influential NRM district leader who had previously been critical of PLU. After two hours of engagement, the leader came out and declared, “We have agreed. Western Uganda must speak with one voice. That voice is PLU. That voice is Gen. Muhoozi.”

This is happening now because Gerald knows how to talk to NRM leaders. He does not insult them. He does not compete with them. He respects them and makes them see the bigger picture.

“The old NRM leaders sacrificed for this country. We cannot throw them away. My work now is to go to them, sit with them, and show them that Gen. Muhoozi is not here to replace their legacy, but to protect and advance it. That is why they are endorsing us. They trust our approach,” Gerald noted while in Kanungu this morning.

Irrespective of the setbacks – and there are still setbacks, including limited resources, long distances, and some political opportunists trying to confuse the ground – Agaba knows the mission. The mission is clear and non-negotiable: to support the total growth of PLU and to ensure Western Uganda delivers overwhelmingly for Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

“The setbacks are there, but they are small compared to the mission. My mission now is simple: Every NRM leader in Western Uganda must understand that PLU is their home. Every youth must be registered. Every village must have a PLU coordinator who understands our chairman’s vision. That is what I am doing every day in the field,” he emphasized.

Over the weekend, he us expected to meet NRM party leaders from Kabale, Rukiga and Rubanda, and expectations are arleady high. Leaders are already mobilized. They are waiting for him. Because when Gerald calls, they know he comes with substance.

A youth leader from Ntungamo who is part of Gerald’s current caravan said, “Gerald does not sleep. While others are posting on WhatsApp, he is here with us in the village, explaining to our chairperson why we must support PLU. That is leadership.”

And this is the reality on the ground now. While the history is that PLU structures and all the roots in Western Uganda were planted by Gerald Agaba – which is true – what matters today is that he is still there, in the dust, traversing the region, securing endorsements, strengthening the structures and pushing the name of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba into every household.

Western Uganda is not just leaning PLU. Western Uganda is PLU. And it is PLU now because Agaba Gerald is currently doing the work that others only talk about.
