Besigye and Kyagulanyi while signing an MoU
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.
