Over ten Democratic Party (DP) MPs and singer Joseph Mayanja known as Chameleone have today crossed to National Unity Platform (NUP), a political Party owned the Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu aka Bobi Wine.
The MPs together with several others were welcomed by the Party Chairperson Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu at the party headquarters in Kamwokya.
They include; Mathias Mpuga, Medard Sseggona, Betty Nambooze, Moses Kasibante, Muwanga Kivumbi, Allan Ssewanyana, Ronina Sentongo (Kyotera), Sempala Kigozi, Veronica Nayondo, Counsel Samuel Muyizi, Kenneth Kakande, Florence Namayanja, Matia Lwanga Bwanika (Chairperson Wakiso District) and Brenda Nabukenya.
The other Members include Wakayima Musoke, Namboowa Rashida, Felix Mwanje Semujju (LC II chairperson Wakiso), Vicente Mayanja, Charles Kirumira, Kasita Bukenya, and Michael Mabikke among others.
The group has been at loggerheads with the DP President Nobert Mao who they have always accused of failing the oldest Party in the Country.
“I today unveiled new fighters Dr. Jose, Mama Betty, comrade Allan, counsel Ssegona and Mwanga Kivumbi to the National Unity Platform. You are in the right vehicle to lead this country and the regime is even more scared.” Bobi said
In tandem, Kyagulanyi used the occasion which he regarded as their Heroes’ day to applaud his comrades who have withstood the heat in the struggle against Mr. Museveni’s government. Bobi Wine and the Party Members paid respect to eight individuals who lost their lives at the hand of security operatives.
The deceased include; Walindo Asumani, Alinda Michael, Sewankambo Rogers, Akim Sekamwa, Rita Nabukenya, Daniel Kyeyune, Mutyaba Charles, Nyakuta Robert, Nyakundi Asumani
