Uganda Freedom Front unveiled as non-electoral civic pressure group in Wakiso
The first pillar focuses on youth digital competency and economic inclusion, with plans to equip young Ugandans with practical digital skills required to participate effectively in the technology-driven economy.
A newly formed civic and political pressure group, the Uganda Freedom Front (UFF), has officially launched operations in Wakiso District, positioning itself as a non-electoral movement focused on civic education, constitutional accountability, and youth empowerment.
The organisation was formally unveiled during an inaugural press briefing held on Monday, June 8, 2026, in Katale, Wakiso District. During the event, the group also announced the establishment of its temporary national headquarters and secretariat in Ssumba, Wakiso District, where it says national coordination activities will be based.
According to the interim leadership, the Uganda Freedom Front will operate strictly as a non-electoral civic platform and will neither sponsor nor field candidates for political office. Instead, the movement says it intends to function as an independent advocacy body engaging citizens and policymakers on governance, constitutionalism, and youth development issues.
Interim Leadership Named
The movement unveiled its interim executive committee comprising:
Interim Chairman — Ggumisiriza Isaac
Secretary General — Ndagishe Aliyi
Deputy Spokesperson — Ssenyonga Davis
Addressing journalists during the launch, Secretary General Ndagishe Aliyi said the organisation aims to promote an informed and economically empowered generation capable of actively participating in national development.
“Our mission is to build a highly informed, digitally capable, and civically active generation,” Aliyi said. “By remaining a non-electoral force, the Uganda Freedom Front ensures its advocacy remains focused on structural accountability and youth development rather than partisan political competition.”
Key Areas of Focus
The group outlined three major pillars that will guide its activities across the country.
The first pillar focuses on youth digital competency and economic inclusion, with plans to equip young Ugandans with practical digital skills required to participate effectively in the technology-driven economy.
Secondly, the organisation says it will invest in constitutional literacy programmes aimed at increasing public understanding of civic responsibilities, governance institutions, and parliamentary legislative processes.
The third pillar centres on non-electoral policy advocacy, through which the movement intends to engage leaders and institutions on matters of public interest while maintaining political independence from electoral contests.
Expansion Plans
UFF leaders revealed that the movement plans to establish regional coordination structures across Uganda in the coming months. The organisation also called upon civil society organisations, community leaders, and youth groups to collaborate in future civic literacy campaigns and digital skills training initiatives.
The leadership described the launch as the beginning of a long-term civic mobilisation effort intended to address governance and socio-economic challenges that they believe are often overshadowed by election-focused politics.
