We Are Here To Stay – NUP MP Tells Public

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda politics February 4, 2022

NUP MP, Derrick Nyeko has said the party, NUP, is here to stay and going nowhere as rumors have been putting it. Recently, news moving around saying the party is falling apart.

Apparently, there have been disagreements in the leadership of NUP which may cause it to collapse anytime from now. Nyeko however says whatever is running in the media is propaganda and nothing more.

“I must mention that whatever is running in the media is propaganda. As NUP leadership, we are together. We have different platforms such as the parliamentary caucus and we have also held different retreats as a party and NUP leadership has had several meetings. That is how we come out with our decisions. We don’t have any issue within the party.”

Nyeko says the reason why some members may not be appearing in different press conferences of NUP is because of commitments. So in no way does this mean the party is falling apart.

“In most cases, NUP press conferences sit on different days, and on those days we always have committee meetings. We have meetings and probably some MPs go out to the field. It is understandable that not every Member of Parliament will be present at each press conference.”

The NUP MP emphasizes that they won 2021 elections. More to this, he says NUP is here to stay because it’s for the young people.

“I must mention that NUP won the 2021 elections and NUP is here to stay. NUP is for the young people. There is no way one can think that NUP is not going to be there after five or twenty years. It is the young people that makeup NUP.”
