Uganda, March 10 -- There was some secrecy in 2020 when Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, and his close associates, including his brother Fred Nyanzi, decided to turn the People Power Movement into a political party now known as National Unity Platform (NUP).

Those who were locked out of the conservations to have NUP formed were Kyagulanyi's allies from what was known as Democratic Party (DP) bloc - Mr Mathias Mpuuga, (Nyendo-Mukungwe), Mr Medard Lubega Sseggona (Busiro East), Ms Betty Nambooze (Mukono Municipality), and Mr Muwanga Kivumbi (Butambala County), among others.

Sources say these veteran politicians came to know about NUP a few days before the party could be launched, with an umbrella as its symbol.
