Former leaders of the National Unity Platform led by Paul Ssimbwa Kagombe and Moses Nkonge Kibalama have petitioned the high Court in Kampala, seeking an injunction suspending all political activities the party is undertaking saying they are illegal.
In petition filed this week, the former leaders cited petitions brought before the high court last year, 2024 contemplating forgery of the party constitution submitted at the Electoral Commission by the party Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya.
The team says, all challenges within which they seek guidance and adjudication from court are the core for jurisprudence, “failure to find justice would lead the political terrain into anormally.”
The petitioners also cited the recent News Paper calls for expression of interest seeking people and supporters to contest as Local Council Leaders, MPs and the Presidential flag bearers without grassroot processes being followed.
The team now wants court to immediately suspend the activities of the party until the main cases seeking justice on the alleged forgery of the party constitution be heard and determined by courts of law.
Ssimbwa Kagombe, Moses Nkonge Kibalama and other leaders, in 2020 surrendered their party – NURP to new leadership and was later turned into NUP pending reforms, delegates conferences and rectification of the party’s grassroots through election of leaders which has not been done five years later.
