National Unity Platform leader Robert Kyagulanyi, known as Bobi Wine, has started private talks with MPs previously loyal to Mathias Mpuuga. The secret meetings aim to strengthen party unity ahead of the 2026 elections.
Reliable sources reveal Wine’s change of heart toward MPs who supported former Deputy President Mpuuga. The party president now seeks reconciliation with elected officials who previously faced potential exclusion.
“Anyone feeling sorry can call me directly to work out our differences,” Wine told one of the returning MPs. The party leader handles these sensitive discussions personally to avoid interference from hardliners.
Luwero Woman MP Brenda Nabukenya has already secured her position through this approach. Her successful reconciliation guarantees her spot as flag bearer for the upcoming elections.
Busiro East MP Medard Ssegona faces potential replacement by Kenneth Paul Kakande. The party leadership considers this move following Ssegona’s refusal to support Mpuuga’s censure.
Kakande, a seasoned anti-government activist, runs successful farming projects along Kampala-Hoima Road. His local business presence strengthens his candidacy for the Busiro East constituency.
Joyce Bagala, Mityana Woman MP, shows promising signs of reconciliation with the party leadership. Sources confirm ongoing talks between her and Wine, citing her limited involvement in Mpuuga’s recent activities.
Bukomansimbi Woman MP Veronica Nanyondo faces challenges in her reconciliation attempts. Her public clash with new Opposition Leader Joel Ssenyonyi complicates her return to party favor.
Masaka district Woman MP Joan Namutaawe successfully distanced herself from Mpuuga’s influence. Bukoto East MP Ronald Evans Kanyike helped her gradually return to party good graces.
Wine’s strategic reconciliation efforts target isolating Mpuuga before the 2026 campaigns. Sources confirm only Abed Bwanika and Juliet Kakande remain firmly in Mpuuga’s camp.
The party headquarters welcomes returning MPs who show remorse and pledge loyalty. Leadership sources emphasize quick action for MPs seeking reconciliation before campaign season begins.
