Makerere University councilor to KCCA, Bernard Luyiga who had been rumoured to have crossed to NRM after the Lord Mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago declined to appoint him deputy mayor recently  has described the allegations against him as baseless.

Lukwago recently named Sulaiman Kidandala as the deputy mayor of Kampala declining to name Luyiga who had made an alliance with NRM councilors to back him for the same post.

Luyiga has however told our informers today in Kampala that that his ‘marriage’ with NRM councilors did not mean that he had defected to the ruling party in Uganda.

“I note with concern baseless allegations that I crossed to NRM because of Lukwago’s failure to appoint me as Deputy Lord Mayor. I wish to state categorically very cleanly that such information is coming from people who for some reasons (best known to them selves want to see me down politically), he explains.
