A section of Democratic Party [DP] leaders in Masaka District have announced their defection to National Unity Platform (NUP) led by Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi commonly known as Bobi Wine.
Mr Kyagulanyi on Wednesday unveiled NUP as the political wing of the People Power movement.

The less known NUP was formed in 2004 and initially called National Unity Reconciliation and Development Party (NURDP) under the stewardship of Mr Moses Nkonge Kibalama.
Mr Stephen Bonny Kasujja, the chairperson Masaka city DP chairperson said they took the decision to join NUP after realising that no one in DP top leadership was prepared to take over state power.

Mr Norbert Mao is the DP president general.
"We have been observing what has been going on within our party in the past six months and it is clear that there is no one ready to challenge President Museveni in the next election. So, since People Power movement is now legally absorbed in NUP, we have to follow them because it's our only hope to capture state power," Mr Kasujja said on Thursday during a press conference at his home in Ssaaza, a Masaka city suburb.
