マウォコタ南の元FDC議員ユースフ・ンスビンビは,NRM候補に再選を敗れた後,2026年2月18日に正式にウガンダの支配的なNRMに加わった. Yusuf Nsibambi, former FDC MP for Mawokota South, officially joined Uganda’s ruling NRM on February 18, 2026, after losing his re-election bid to an NRM candidate. この動きはムセベニ大統領との会談に続き,NRM指導者らから歓迎を受けた。 The move followed a meeting with President Museveni and was welcomed by NRM leaders, including Speaker Anita Among. Nsibambiは,国家の調和と政治の安定を動機としているが,野党の勢力は,統一への影響について懸念を表明した. Nsibambi cited national harmony and political stability as motivations, while opposition figures expressed concern over the impact on unity. 亡命は広域的な傾向の一端であり,2026年の選挙の先を行く数人の元野党指導者がNRMに加入し,反対勢力の団結と戦略について疑問を提起した. The defection is part of a broader trend, with several former opposition leaders joining the NRM ahead of the 2026 elections, raising questions about the opposition’s cohesion and strategy.
