Yusuf Nsibambi, the veteran Mawokota South Member of parliament has officially crossed from the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), announcing that he is returning his FDC membership card at the party secretariat.
Announcing his defection at the NRM headquarters today morning, Nsibambi described his move as part of “the struggle for peace,” saying that the polarized nature of opposition politics has left him frustrated.
He was accompanied to the NRM Secretariat by several prominent politicians. Among them was Charles Ngabirano, Rwampara East MP, who served in the 11th Parliament on an NRM ticket but lost to Julius Tusiime before reclaiming the seat as an Independent on January 15, 2026.
Others included, Topista Acamfua, Zombo District Woman MP; Mutebi Mugoya, MP-elect; David Okwere Beecham, Ibanda District Woman MP-elect; and Muhammad Ssentayi Muyanja, Bukoto West MP, reportedly acting as a lobbyist alongside Gyavira of Kyotera, among others and welcomed by Speaker Anet Anita Among and Secretary Gen.Richard Todwongo.
