National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi nicknamed Bobi Wine and the party’s top officials have refused to hand over leadership posts to Moses Kibalama Nkonge and his crew, who ‘ousted’ them days ago.

On Friday, Kibalama and his group conducted a ‘NUP Delegates Conference’ in which they sacked Bobi Wine and his Kamwokya-based group for allegedly failing to offer leadership and violating provisions of a memorandum of understanding under which the People Power pressure group purchased NUP.

Bobi Wine and his crew have distanced themselves from Kibalama’s delegates conference, stating that “no Delegates Conference of the Party has been held in the recent past.”

They also mentioned that the NUP Constitution mandates them to have a Delegates Conference at least once every five years to pick leaders, and that once elected, those leaders serve a five-year term.

Kibalama and his colleagues said on Friday that they had’sacked’ Bobi Wine, Rubongoya, Ssenyonyi, and other party officials. (Read the full story here.)

It should be noted that Kabalama has previously attempted to destabilize Bobi Wine. (Bobi Wine Refuses to Handover NUP Presidency to New Leader – celebrity jazz ug)
