Robert Kyagulanyi’s Brother Eddie Yawe and actor Patrick Mujuuka are among the aspirants to have been left out of the National Unity Platform (NUP) entries as the party released its selected flag bearers for the position of members of parliament for the central region on Monday.
The flag bearer’s lists were released by the NUP Executive Board after rigorous vetting and screening activity.
Early this month, the NUP election management committee led by Mercy Walukamba started the party’s vetting process for flag-bearers for the different positions ahead of the 2021 general elections.
A provisional list of successful candidates in various constituencies in the Central Region has now been released, attracting mixed reactions from the candidates and their voters.
Eddie Yawe was vetted for the Kira Municipality seat and lost out to Jimmy Lukwago, the former owner of Kira Young football club while actor and radio presenter, Patrick Mujuuka alias Patriko also lost to Ssimbwa Fred in Nakifuma County.
In the Rubaga South Constituency, Aloysius Mukasa was handed the NUP flag, however, results from Rubaga North will have to be re-evaluated.
Results for Kawempe North, Kawempe South, and Makindye East deferred and will have to be re-evaluated as well.
Another of Bobi Wine’s brothers, Fred Nyanzi Sentamu has been selected as the flag bearer for Kampala Central.
The NUP party spokesperson Joel Ssenyonyi will represent the party in Nakawa West while Ronald Balimwezo will contest in Nakawa East.
NBS TV’s Joyce Baagala Ntwaatwa also went through for Mityana’s Woman MP Slot.
