The opposition political party National Unity Platform-NUP has heeded the directive of the Deputy Resident City Commissioner of Kawempe Yasin Ndidde to postpone the launch of their party headquarters.
Speaking at Kamwokya, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the President of NUP said they decided to postpone the opening of their new party headquarters at Makerere Kavule to Friday in order to shield their guests from unnecessary security harassment.
There was heavy police deployment on Bombo Road at the new NUP offices the al of today to try and stop anyone from accessing the offices. According to the letter of the RCC, they were unable to provide security to NUP and its supporters because there is a function that is going to be attended by President Yoweri Museveni in the same area.
In a letter addressed to NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya, Ndiidde advised that the party postpone the function to a later date. However, the party insisted that the function would take place.
Tents, and chairs fully decorated in party colors were already at the venue. But in his address at Kamwokya, Kyagulanyi said there was no need to put their visitors in arms way yet the function could go ahead peacefully tomorrow.
