National unity platform is the leading opposition political party in Uganda with Kyagulanyi Robert aka Bobi wine as the party president. The party has 57members of Parliament while Forum for Democratic change is led by Patrick Oboi Amuriat as the party president with 32 members of Parliament.

In a secret meeting that was held at Hotel African Kampala on 1st August 2022, the two parties vehemently agreed to support FDC because NUP party president had lost truck in leadership

NUP president has become irrelevant in the face of Ugandans hence influencing the decision to form an alliance with FDC party as they target 2026 general elections to front one candidate who will be Col. Dr. Kiiza Besigye.

According to Hon. Mathias Mpuuga, the member of Parliament for Masaka- Mukungwe division in Masaka city and also the Leader Of Opposition in Parliament said that indeed NUP members of Parliament were divided over their President who has turned into a businessman than a politician

Mpuuga agreed to mobilize all members of Parliament to support Col. Dr Kiiza Besigye for proper leadership in opposition.

They further accused party president Kyagulanyi of working with the State especially when the state gave him tax waver for his bullet proof car last 2021 which Uganda Revenue Authority had impounded for tax clearance with so many allegations.

When Lewis Rubongoya the National Unity Platform secretary general asked about this development, he said NUP party and FDC have made an alliance and are now one party ready to work behind FDC from today until they capture State House.

The Lord Mayor for Kampala City Hon. Elias Lukwago who doubles as the Vice President for Central Uganda in FDC welcomed the move and related NUP to the lost sheep without a Shepard that has now seen light.

Other political parties involved in the merging include JEEMA, PPP and a block of DP that separated from the Mao faction.

False Allegations Of Torture By NUP Against Security Agencies

                                                         Alleged torture victim, Eric Mwesigwa For a while, Security Forces have noted persistent attempts by some political opposition groups in Uganda to blackmail and demonize Government over false allegations of torture by Security Agencies. These elements have embarked on a deliberate campaign to malign the Government and attempted to isolate it at Regional and International fora, as well as among the development partners using the usual rhetoric of human rights abuses and socio-economic challenges.  These evil schemes continue to be propagated through the mainstream and social media platforms and agitations for civil disobedience including the so-called “ Kunga and Tul...

WHY EAST AFRICA NEEDS THE EACOP.

There has been recent claims on a motion of resolution by the European Parliament that calls on Uganda and Tanzania to stop the development of oil and gas projects in the East African region.  However,  Uganda and East Africa need the Oil pipeline following public reactions towards the negative motives of the European Parliament. It brings back colonial times, much as their arguments have a grain of salt, I dont think the the implementers of EACOP did not conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This was done and all aspects taken into consideration. And besides that, Africa at large is the least contributor to climate change. They (first world countries) are the biggest contributors-they are burning fossil fuels like coal which contribute heavily to climate change.  They have refused to stop their use, they should tackle that First, before they start extending their concerns to us. We need this pipeline as a region, we should just look at ensuring its...

  THE MAO DOCUMENTS RAISE MORE QUESTIONS AROUND BOBI AND NUP In investigating the recent past of the National Unity Party (NUP), one might become perplexed by the dirt surrounding its leader, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, that has helped propel the party and its leader to political fame. For instance, the Norbert Mao documents released a few days ago, could potentially become a touchstone for broader conversations about the manipulation of the multiparty system by those in power to create their own opposition. According to official accounts, NUP, formerly called National Unity, Reconciliation and Development Party (NURP), was registered in 2004, a month before FDC was registered as a party. But according to the document released by Mao, it shows that NUP was registered on 28th August 2019. So, which NUP was exactly registered? Did the Electoral Commission (EC) register two political parties by the same names, and is that legally feasible? On 14 July 2020, Kyagulanyi a...
