Former Kawempe North Member of Parliament Mubarak Munyagwa has said that the current situation of defections in the National Unity Platform (NUP) would condemn their party leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine to a loss if a secret ballot poll were to be held at the party offices.

Munyagwa made the claims during a Television talk show on NBS TV on Sunday.

Munyagwa made the comparisons with Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba whose MK Movement has pounced on many NUP legislators, creating divisions in the party legislators.

Now the former legislator claims that if a secret ballot poll were to be held at the party headquarters, the founder of NUP and its leader Bobi Wine would not even register a handful of votes.

"If a secret ballot (for only MPs) is organized between Kyagulanyi and Muhoozi at the NUP headquarters in Kamyokya, Kyagulanyi would likely receive four votes, including one from Zaake," Munyagwa said.

A number of NuP legislators have recently crossed into the MK movement, following Dr Twaha Kagabo, the MP for Bukoto South who has been vocal about his interest in Muhoozi despite being on a NUP card in parliament.

Recently, Njeru Municipality Member of Parliament (NUP) Jimmy Lwanga also joined the MK Movement.
