This was after being fronted by Gagamel singer Bebe Cool as the best choice for the role.
Bebe Cool said that Kirya has all the qualities to steer the industry ahead unlike the other two candidates Cindy and King Saha. Maurice Kirya subsequently made his intentions clear and decided to join the race.
He said that after numerous calls from fellow artists to lead them, he had made up his mind to take up the job.
However, Kirya has now made a U-turn in regards to his earlier position.
The Busabala singer says that failure to book an early ticket has cost him coming back. He further adds that due to the COVID-19 protocols, he won’t make it on time as stipulated by UMA’s guidelines.
“To my fellow Ugandan musicians, my interest in joining the race for UMA President has regrettably come a little too late for my team and I as stipulated by UMA Electoral Commission guidelines.
I’m out of the country (Uganda) and thought I would act quickly and get back ready for tomorrow’s (Monday) nomination process. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 protocols, it hasn’t been possible. I can’t have an early flight as earlier projected.
Therefore, it’s with a heavy heart that I have decided to withdraw my application for the UMA Presidency. I would have preferred to represent myself, to listen…” his social media message read in part.
Meanwhile, the race is on today. Cindy and King Saha are meant to go head to head. The winner of the election will get to lead the association for the incoming term.
