By Website Writer; Former Kawempe South MP, Mubaraka Munyagwa Sserunga (Mugaati gwa Batta) has revealed why he shunned joining the famous new political party, National Unity Platform (NUP) in 2020 even when he had all chances to.
The motor-mouthed politician says that joining NUP would have been a huge blow to his career and betrayal to Rtd Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye with whom they have toiled for years.
Munyagwa also notes that Besigye has selflessly sacrificed a lot for this country.
“Joining NUP would have been a betrayal to Besigye, something I can never do. I have been through a lot with Besigye. He has sacrificed a lot from this country. I just couldn’t betray him for just a mere position,” Munyagwa said while appearing on Urban TV.
In the most recent general elections of 2021, Munyangwa lost the Kawempe South MP seat to Journalist Bashir Kazibwe of the National Unity Platform-NUP.
Kazibwe polled 26, 855 votes, in a race that attracted 10 candidates, while Munyagwa finished third in the race with 3,788 votes behind National Resistance Movement’s Solomon Mayanja with 6,818 votes.
