The National Unity Platform (NUP) has reshuffled its leadership in Mubende District, elevating Pafuladito Kyeyune, the former Kkunga NUP Chairman, to the position of district chairperson.

The restructuring, aimed at consolidating NUP's influence in Buganda ahead of the 2026 elections, was overseen by the party's Central Region Mobilization Chairperson, Faridah Nabatanzi, alongside Greater Mubende focal person, Deguele Kawuma.

During a meeting at the NUP offices in Kirungi Cell, Nabatanzi commended party members for their resilience in keeping Mubende politically active.

She also announced a policy barring in-service leaders seeking parliamentary seats from holding party positions, urging them to focus on their constituencies.
