The National Unity Platform (NUP) is facing renewed uncertainty after reports emerged that its former acting president, Dr Lina Zedriga, has reportedly left Uganda and may seek to remain abroad.Sources claim Zedriga, who serves as NUP deputy president for Northern Uganda, travelled through Kenya and is exploring options for her next move, including possible asylum in Europe or Canada.
Her reported departure comes months after NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, left Uganda over concerns about his safety.Zedriga, a former magistrate and human rights advocate, had been serving as acting party president during Bobi Wine’s absence before John Baptist Nambeshe was appointed to the role.
The claims about her exit and fears of arrest have not been independently verified, and NUP has not issued an official statement on the matter.The development has sparked debate over the future of the opposition party, with observers questioning how NUP will maintain its activities amid the absence of some of its top leaders.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
