The main opposition party, National Unity Platform–NUP has declared tomorrow a national day for prayer and fasting for the country, as President Museveni swears-in for the sixth elected term in power.
Speaking to Journalists at NUP head offices in Kampala, Joel Ssenyonyi the party spokesperson said they have declared tomorrow a day of prayers and fasting, to seek God’s intervention for this country that is covered by actions of human rights abuses, extra judicial killings, and bad governance.
He said the main prayer function will be held at their offices in Kamwokya, and all change loving Ugandans and all their leaders will attend in black attire as a symbol of sadness for hundreds of people who have been brutalized and killed because of supporting regime change.
Meanwhile the press briefing was interrupted before ending, when military armored vehicles with soldiers parked in the middle of the NUP gate causing tension for about 30 minutes before they vacated the premises without any action.
But the party general secretary general David Lubongoya condemned the security action to disrupt a peaceful function saying that parking military armored vehicles in the middle of the gate has no meaning but to cause fear and intimidation.
