NUP To Choose Leader Of Opposition Representative Today

National Unity Platform (NUP), leadership is meeting today to choose who will represent the party for the spot of leader of the opposition. The party Secretary-General, Mr Lewis Rubongoya says they have run out of time, so, this meeting is very crucial.

“We are still doing meetings, by tomorrow (today) we will have a position.”

The Deputy President of the party, Mathias Mpuuga confirmed this meeting and said by Monday it will be settled.

“The party will have a meeting tomorrow (today) to discuss the options and we shall let the country know. By Monday, we shall have that matter settled.”

Mr. Rubongoya also clarified about Kyagulanyi not being the last one to decide for the party.

“He is the one who chairs the party organs and when not available, he delegates but he does not have to have input directly. Even if he had a nomination, they would subject to these organs,”

“The party has different structures and organs. So, we have been consulting those different organs. We should have an answer soon, we hope tomorrow. And we have an executive board, one of the bodies in charge of selecting leaders. We have a parliamentary caucus, we have the national executive committee and most of the decisions we take, we consult with these organs.” He added.

NUP has the highest number of opposition members in parliament this time around. In recent years, FDC has been enjoying the leader of the opposition spot but looks like they will have to wait for such an opportunity again.
