Uganda’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has bolstered its majority in the 12th Parliament through a new cooperation agreement. Dozens of Independent Members of Parliament have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work more closely with the ruling party. This agreement allows for increased collaboration between the NRM and independent legislators. The move effectively strengthens the NRM’s influence and control within the parliamentary system. Details of the MoU were signed on Thursday, solidifying the political alliance. This development signals a further consolidation of power for the NRM in Ugandan politics. The agreement will likely impact the legislative agenda and voting patterns in Parliament.
