All NUP MPs Must Report To Our New Offices – Gideon Tugume

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda politics June 22, 2022

Gideon Tugume, the spokesperson of Kibalama’s registered NUP faction has called upon all NUP MPs to report to the new offices. Apparently, they should be oriented on the legitimate structures of the party.

Yesterday, Kibalama and his group showcased NUP offices saying they have never sold it to anyone as claimed. NUP is under the leadership of Bobi Wine after they got it legally apparently from Kibalama.

However, Gideon says Kibalama is currently on suspension after illegally transferring party ownership.

“I was there when NURP was being registered and when the name was changed to NUP. Kibalama was the acting head of the party. And by his mandate as acting, he had no capacity to transfer the leadership to another person. Kibalama and the Secretary-General have been suspended.”

“Yesterday they only came because it was a function to open the new party offices. He has already appeared before the committee to explain what transpired between him and Kyagulanyi,” Gideon added.

Therefore, Gideon Tugume called upon all NUP MPs to go to the new offices in Kabowa to receive a blessing from the official leadership.

“As long as the party is concerned, that memorandum of understanding is illegal. Kyagulanyi came and duped his uncle Kibalama. All those elected on the NUP ticket have to come to the headquarters for a ‘blessing’.”

However, Bobi Wine and his team have decided to ignore all this that is going on. The offices in Kamwokya are open and working while Kabowa offices are doing the same as well.

Much as it is so, Rubongoya, the NUP Party secretary-general said they are looking into taking the case to court any time from now.
