The National Unity Platform party unveiled its chosen parliament flag bearers for the Central and Eastern regions during a recent announcement on Monday night. The party made significant changes by replacing many incumbents with fresh faces, including individuals closely associated with Bobi Wine, popularly known as diehards.
Amid the party’s selections, Bobi Wine’s two siblings, Nyanzi Fred Sentamu and Sentamu Betty, received endorsements to contest in different constituencies within the Central Region of Uganda.
Nyanzi, Bobi Wine’s elder brother, was granted the ticket for Kawempe South, while Betty will be running for Gomba district Woman MP. However, criticism arose, particularly regarding Nyanzi’s lack of popularity in the area.
Social media platforms buzzed with criticism over the perceived nepotism within the National Unity Platform, with some drawing parallels to President Museveni’s family rule.
A vocal critic expressed disappointment in Bobi Wine, questioning the decision to grant parliamentary tickets to his siblings. The move was deemed as nepotistic and sparked debates on the party’s commitment to serving the interests of all Ugandans.
The controversy surrounding family members receiving party endorsements raises concerns about political ethics and fairness within the National Unity Platform.
