What is the IDU Forum?
The IDU is an influential political alliance that brings together parties from across the world subscribing to center-right ideologies. It serves as a platform for collaboration, idea exchange, and fostering unity among like-minded political organisations.
With most IDU member parties currently in power in their respective countries, the forum is seen as a springboard for political influence and leadership on a global scale.
The FDC’s participation in the IDU is a significant milestone. As one of the few African political parties to hold membership in this global alliance, the FDC continues to position itself as a key player on the continent.
The party’s alignment with the IDU underscores its commitment to principles of democracy, good governance, and political reform.
Strategic Implications for FDC and Uganda
The attendance of Nandala Mafabi and Amuriat Oboi at the 2024 IDU Forum is more than a ceremonial act. It reflects the FDC’s deliberate efforts to build international alliances and leverage global best practices to shape its political strategy.
By engaging with leaders from influential political parties worldwide, the FDC aims to strengthen its capacity to bring meaningful change to Uganda’s political landscape.
Observers note that the IDU platform provides the FDC with an opportunity to showcase its vision for Uganda and position itself as a credible alternative to the current regime.
With Uganda’s general elections approaching in 2026, such international engagements could bolster the FDC’s profile and mobilize support both locally and abroad.

The Washington D.C. trip also aligns with ongoing efforts by FDC leaders and supporters to rally behind Project Nandala Mafabi President 2026.
Spearheaded by National Coordinator Masaba Emmanuel Sabunyo, this initiative has gained traction as a driving force for grassroots mobilisation. Supporters are confident that the leadership and vision of Nandala Mafabi, alongside the resilience of FDC stalwarts like Amuriat Oboi, will propel the party into the “driving seat” of Uganda’s governance in the near future.
Masaba, who is also eyeing the Elgon County MP seat in 2026, expressed optimism about the FDC’s trajectory. “All political parties in IDU are in power now. It’s only a matter of time before FDC takes the reins in Uganda,” he stated confidently.
The Road Ahead
As the FDC leadership continues to engage with global allies and fortify its grassroots base, the party appears poised for a transformative journey.
With strategic planning, international networking, and unwavering support from its members, the FDC is positioning itself as a formidable contender for Uganda’s leadership in 2026.
The question on everyone’s mind: Will the FDC’s presence on the global stage translate into success at home? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—the party is leaving no stone unturned.
