The race constitutes six candidates, including Rose Kabagyeni from the National Resistance Movement (NRM), Salim Sultana representing the National Unity Platform (NUP), and Grace Akifeza Ngabirano as an independent. Aisha Cyimpaye will carry the People's Progressive Party (PPP) flag, while Juliet Musanase is representing the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and Mable Ingabire for the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC).

As the Katonga group pushes to register the PFF, their counterparts at Najjanankumbi have gone ahead to declare their interest in participating in the forthcoming general elections in 2026.

Since the eruption of the internal conflicts in the FDC party, the leadership based in Najjanakumbi has been sending an olive branch to the Katonga leaders seeking fertile ground for reconciliation; however, with the EC’s permission, to further the registration of PFF, Katonga leaders seem to be unbothered by the olive branch from Najjanankumbi.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has cleared Besigye’s Katonga faction to proceed with the registration process of their new party, the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF).

The Katonga group has since accused their counterparts at Najjanankumbi and the EC of yielding to the invisible hand to delay the party registration process.
