Police halts NUP’s Kunga rallies

Police has suspended the countrywide opposition NUP party ‘Kunga’ rallies organised to re-register the party members. 

According to the spokesperson for the Uganda Police force, Fred Enanga today May 7 2024, the police has not received any notification from the National Unity Platform, NUP party leaders to be allowed to hold such functions. 

Enanga says the police only received request from the Forum for Democratic Change, FDC, Katonga faction to meet its followers in various parts of the country.

The opposition National Unity Platform NUP party, last moth announced a countrywide tour tag-named ‘Kunga rallies’ in which the party will be re-registering its members in preparations for the party’s delegates conference.

The party has recently organised the Kunga rally in Bugweri Busoga region during which it registered new members. Another of such similar Kunga rally which was last weekend organised in Busia ended prematurely as violence erupted among members over who to preside over the registration exercise.

The NUP leadership was due to move to Masaka next week to launch the Kunga registration campaign and opening up party office in Nyendo Mukungwe, a constituency of the embattled Commissioner of Parliament, Mathius Mpuuga. Police in Masaka was the first to ban the opening of the NUP office in Nyendo for what it called security reasons but it said it has no problem if its Kunga rally deep in the countryside.

Apart from being prevented from holding the Kunga registration rallies, the National Unity Platform NUP, is facing a court case where the party’s original owner, Moses Kibalama, is demanding the return of his party, claiming that its new leadership led by Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, is holding it illegally.
