Former FDC Deputy President western Uganda in the early 2000s, Patrick Baguma has died in a motor accident along northern bypass.
His leadership within FDC helped the party gain visibility and support in regions traditionally dominated by the ruling NRM, making him a respected figure across political divides.
Colleagues in the opposition and political analysts described him as a principled and calm strategist who championed multiparty democracy and justice.
Baguma was also a successful businessman whose ventures contributed to employment and local economic growth, especially in the western region.
He maintained close ties with his community even after stepping back from frontline politics, supporting development projects and youth initiatives.
The FDC party and several political leaders have expressed deep sorrow at his passing, praising his service and commitment to Uganda’s political evolution.
Funeral arrangements are underway, and more details are expected from his family and the FDC leadership in the coming days.
