Butambala County MP Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi has been appointed as the new Vice-President for Buganda Region in the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP). His appointment was announced on Thursday during a media briefing in Kampala, following the dismissal of Mathias Mpuuga from the party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mpuuga, the former Leader of the Opposition, had a public fallout with the party last year over allegations surrounding a controversial Shs500 million service award.<\/p>\n

He has since formed a political pressure group, the Democratic Alliance. Kivumbi\u2019s appointment, made by NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), was approved by the party\u2019s National Executive Committee. Serving in an acting capacity, Kivumbi will hold the position until June, when NUP\u2019s delegates convene to decide on leadership roles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to Kivumbi, NUP announced other acting appointments, including Jacqueline Tukamushaba as Vice-President for the Western Region, Harriet Ageno as Secretary for Policy, and Benjamin Katana as the party\u2019s representative on the National Consultative Forum.<\/p>\n

Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya emphasized the importance of these appointments as NUP strengthens its leadership ahead of the next political season. \u201cThe ball is now in your court,\u201d Rubongoya stated, urging the new appointees to deliver on their mandates.<\/p>\n
