Opposition political party National Unity Platform has finally opened its new headquarters in Makerere Kavule in Kampala’s Kawempe division.
Party leader Robert Kyagulanyi was joined by former Forum Democratic Change (FDC) leader Dr Kizza Besigye and Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago at the much anticipated grand opening of the new office.
The event happened exactly three years since Kyagulanyi was nominated to run for president in a race in which he eventually emerged second-best to incumbent President Yoweri Museveni of the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Today’s function in Makerere Kavule marked the relocation of NUP from its erstwhile headquarters in Kamwokya in Central division, with party secretary general David Rubongoya telling supporters that they had used the former office “free of charge” for four years.
He added that party leader Kyagulanyi has allowed the party to continue using that place for NUP, for People Power, and they have decided that in Kamwokya, they are going to establish the National Unity Platform School of Leadership.
