Mathias Walukagga, the NUP cardholder for Busiro East, has officially introduced Emmanuel Magoola to party leaders and supporters as the candidate endorsed by NUP for the area.
Speaking to party leadership and the public, Walukagga said Magoola emerged through the party’s internal selection process, designed to reflect the wishes of the people and uphold NUP’s values.
However, Walukagga’s address was marked by sharp criticism of senior party figure Medard Lubega Sseggona, whom he accused of working against him.
In a strongly worded statement, Walukagga said Sseggona was behind what he described as his marginalisation.
“Lucifer might be the leader of evil, but Medard Lubega Sseggona is the leader of NUP and the revolution enemies,” Walukagga said, remarks that drew mixed reactions from the audience.
Walukagga alleged that the area MP undermined his standing, although no evidence was presented to substantiate the claims.
Despite the grievances, he reiterated his commitment to the National Unity Platform and urged supporters to rally behind Magoola as the official candidate in Busiro East.
Emmanuel Magoola, introduced as the NUP-leaning candidate, thanked the party for the trust placed in him and called for unity among supporters as the party prepares for the upcoming elections.
