The National Unity Platform (NUP) on Monday released the list of the party’s selected flag bearers for the position of Member of Parliament in the central region.
The lists were released by the NUP Executive Board after a rigorous vetting and screening activity.
Early this month, the NUP election management committee led by Mercy Walukamba kicked off the party’s vetting process, where they intended to choose flagbearers for different positions ahead of the 2021 general elections.
A provisional list of successful candidates in various constituencies in the Central Region has now been released, attracting mixed reactions from the candidates and their voters.
NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu (Bobi Wine)’s brother Eddie Yawe who was vetted for the Kira Municipality seat lost out as the flag was handed to Jimmy Lukwago, a former owner of Kira Young football club.
Actor and radio presenter, Patrick Mujuuka alias Patriko also lost to Ssimbwa Fred in Nakifuma County.
