Munyagwa Announces Common Man’s Party Restructuring Ahead Of Delegates Conference

What the report says

Common Man’s Party president Mubarakah Munyagwa says the party is preparing a restructuring drive that will include a new national headquarters, a review of internal structures and a delegates conference. According to Nile Post, the party is aiming to complete the changes within about 10 days, with the new headquarters expected to be unveiled around the same time.

Munyagwa said the organisation does not currently have a formally recognised headquarters, claiming Electoral Commission records still place the party at Kasubi Tombs, where it shares space with the National Peasants Party. He also challenged the recognition of Jakaranda as the party’s registered headquarters, alleging that the registration details were wrongly handled. The party intends to have the new headquarters formally registered before the delegates conference.

The planned conference will follow a retreat where members are expected to examine the party’s work plan, internal arrangements and broader political direction. Issues on the agenda include consociational democracy and the party’s idea of a “Great National Settlement,” which Munyagwa said members will need to assess before choosing a path forward.

The restructuring comes after the party’s participation in the 2026 general elections, which Munyagwa described as a difficult period marked by organisational challenges. He said the party had regrouped and was preparing for renewed national mobilisation. More broadly, the move appears aimed at strengthening the party’s identity and administrative footing ahead of future political activity.
