{UAH} NUP registrar in Northern Uganda defects to NRM, takes 60 others with him

The National Unity Platform (NUP) registrar for Northern Uganda Robinson Lackara has defected to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).

Lakara crossed with 60 other members of the NUP in Aswa, Gulu.

The group said they were crossing because NUP has been preaching a message of hate and pushing violence.

They also claimed the party was devoid of ideology and does not have any sensible prospects.

Also, among defectors, including coordinators for at least 11 sub-counties in the region.

According to an official in NUP, some of the defectors were swayed by financial gains while others were never members of the NUP.

The defection of Lackara and group comes just days after the National Unity Platform registrar for Nwoya District, Ochira Bosco Lawino and 120 members officially crossed to the National Resistance Movement.

Lawino's defection followed that of Twalib Osama, the National Unity Platform (NUP) Kumi County parliamentary candidate who pulled out of the race in favor of an NRM candidate citing family concerns

Osama claims that his family was concerned and asked him to withdraw from the race to save his life and that of his family.
