Makerere University’s Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) Chapter Changes Guard

The Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) is a Youth Wing of the opposition Democratic Party (DP) and has over the years, shaped the trajectory of both national and student politics across universities in the country. The UYD is arguably the most proactive political youth wing across Ugandan Universities.
