National Unity Platform, (NUP) leaders from Mukono District on Monday surprised their party president, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, by returning Shs25m meant for facilitation of polling agents during the recently concluded elections.
In the run up to the elections, money was a top priority for most leaders to either carry their party flag or campaign for their candidates.

National Unity Platform (NUP) is currently a hot cake. They make news. NUP’s phenomenal performance in the just concluded 2021 elections lends them gravitas.
Their leader Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, hitherto dismissed as a mere weed smoking musician from the ghettos of Kamwokya, put up a formidable performance. His team jumped many State-inspired huddles to come second in an outright shambolic election.
Now Bobi Wine is not happy with NBS Television for what he called ‘relaying doctored results’ to disadvantage him after the election. Many of his overzealous supporters are now calling for a boycott of the television station and threatening its reporters.
