As Uganda’s political landscape continues to take shape ahead of the forthcoming elections, DP Bloc, a fragment of the Democratic Party yesterday announced Kyadondo East MP, Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine as their presidential candidate for the coming 2021 elections.
Medard Sseggona, the secretary general of the bloc said they have already started working on the political framework with National Unity Platform (NUP), the political wing of Bobi Wine.
“We have built consensus among ourselves inside the bloc to actualise our engagements under People Power family in a formal structured understanding that we will leave no player out, “he said.
Abed Bwanika, a member of DP bloc and a former presidential candidate said the issue of who will be their presidential candidate was agreed upon and no chance they will discuss it again.
“We have negotiated long ago. We have consulted the people of Uganda who have the voice and we have agreed that Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu will be our presidential candidate,” Bwanika said.
Segona said their decision does not mean that they have joined NUP but if it necessitates them joining, they will join.
“If we identify the need to join the party, we shall join and we shall let you know when and what to let you know,” he said.
