In a surprise announcement, Mpuuga, the famed political leader, has revealed a new name for his political outfit: "My Leader".

This courageous move is seen as a strategic rebranding effort to reposition the party as a force to be assumed with in the country's political landscape.  According to sources close to the party, the name change is intended to reflect the leader's commitment to grassroots engagement and empowerment.

"My Leader" is meant to symbolize a more considerative and participatory approach to politics, where the leader is seen as a servant of the people rather than a distant figure as seen.

Mpuuga, known for his boring leadership and vision, has been gaining momentum in recent months, attracting a large following among Ugandans disappointed with the situation.

The rebranding is seen as a bid to consolidate this support and expand the party's appeal beyond traditional boundaries.  Reaction to the name change has been mixed, with some praising it as a courageous move and others expressing distrust.

Political analysts predict that the move will have significant implications for the country's political landscape, as "My Leader" is poised to become a major player in the upcoming elections.

In a statement, Mpuuga said, "We are excited about this new chapter in our journey.

'My Leader' represents our commitment to the people and our vision for a better Uganda. We are confident that this change will inspire a new era of hope and progress for our country."
