The Democratic Party flag bearer for Mityana Municipality Member of Parliament seat, Mr Abraham Luzzi has declared his support for National Resistance Movement (NRM) presidential flag bearer Yoweri Museveni, causing confusion among party members in the district ahead of the Thursday election.

He claims that DP presidential flag bearer Mr Norbert Mao has given him a green light to support President Museveni who seeks to extend his tenure to four decades.

"Mr Mao has always encouraged us to support people with potential and ability regardless of their political affiliations. So, our DP president has no problem with my decision to support President Museveni," Mr Luzzi said during an interview on Monday.

When Mr Mao was campaigning in Mityana District on November 17, 2021, it was Mr Luzzi who welcomed him and the former said DP members who are supporting flag bearers of other parties are the "real enemies" of the party.

Mr Luzzi further claimed that President Museveni has since endorsed him to mobilise youth in Mityana Municipality to support his candidature.

"I am already doing this work at the same time canvassing for my own votes," he said while addressing a campaign meeting at Katiko village, Busimbi Division in Mityana Municipality on Sunday.
