A total of 153 supporters from different political parties have defected to the Opposition National Unity Platform NUP.

The new supporters from other political parties including NRM were received by a group of NUP top leaders headed by their Principal Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu at their party headquarters in Kamwokya today.

In his welcoming address, Kyagulanyi has condemned the persistent abductions that are witnessed every the other day in the country with the latest being of one Haruna Lukyamuzi, a NUP foot soldier who revealed to the gathering a touching story how he was treated while in the hands of his abductors for two months over allegations of planning to burn a police post..

He reminded Ugandans that nobody is safe in the country not even be protected by the law citing the Kampala based businessman Hamis Kiggundu aka Ham who once glorified those in government but claims they are mooting for his downfall if not his life.

He challenged the security personnel to do their roles responsibly but also challenged the government to improve on their remuneration to avoid acts against the citizens and their masters.
