The Leader of Opposition in Parliament who also doubles as the National Unity Platform-NUP deputy President for Buganda, Mathias Mpuuga has vehemently denied the existence of disagreements within their party.
Speaking to Endigyito radio at his office at the Parliament in Kampala, the Nyendo/Mukungwe Member of Parliament said what is called fundamental disagreements are actually normal differences in opinion that define every society.
According to reports, a number of Members of Parliament and leaders within the NUP had said that there is a rift over the approach that the biggest opposition political party should take in confronting the ruling National Resistance Movement.
These members who are very close to Robert Kyagulanyi, the President of NUP said Mpuuga’s diplomatic kind of leadership runs counter to the aspirations of majority of the party supporters who prefer confrontational politics.
But Mpuuga said those claiming that there is a split in the one-year-old party are nothing but enemies who wish to see them disintegrate.
Mpuuga also deflated the growing voices of NUP supporters who are accusing MPs of having abandoned the cause for change in leadership the moment they stepped in parliament.
