Gregory Mugisha Muntu, the President of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), was born on October 7, 1958 at Kitunga village in present day Ntungamo District, Uganda, to the late Enock Ruzima Muntuyera and Aida Matama Muntuyera. He had his early education at Mbarara Junior School and Kitunga Primary School. He completed his O-Level at Kitunga High School which was later renamed Muntuyera High School, in memory of his father.

Muntu attended Makerere College School for his A-level before entering Makerere University where he graduated with an honors degree in Political Science. While at Makerere University, Muntu’s desire for service inspired him to actively participate in guild politics and was honoured to serve as Vice President of the Makerere Students’ Guild in the government of now Prof. Werikhe Watuwa.

Seven days after completing his degree at Makerere, Muntu left all the luxuries at his disposal to join the National Resistance Army (NRA) to the surprise of his family and the leaders of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), the party that his father fervently work for.

Early into the rebellion, Muntu was shot and severely wounded in the chest and leg. He was brought to Kampala for treatment and many thought he would not return to the ranks of the NRA in the jungles of Luweero. To the surprise of many, he returned to the bush.
