In a twist of events in the National Unity platform, the party’s flag bearer for Lord Mayorship Hajji Latif Sebagala in the forth coming elections who is also the incumbent MP for Kawempe North has decided to quit the race sighting unity in the opposition.
A tearful Latif Sebagala has made the announcement while addressing the media a while ago. This comes at the backdrop of allegations pinning the NUP elections committee of side-lining legendary Musician Joseph Mayanja popularly known as Jose Chameleone who was battling the party card with Latif allegedly for being a catholic which the party has since said it’s fake propaganda.

However, Latif Sebagala had previously been reported heading to the East African Legislative assembly (EALA) in the next elections.
