UPC defectors receive ultimatum

Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) members opposed to Jimmy Akena leadership have been given an ultimatum of one month to come back to the party. Acting Party Secretary General, Fred Ebil, while speaking to Journalists at Parliament, said the move was reached to control the confusion in the party as well to create harmony among the party members.

He said that in order to show that people that support Akena leadership are ready to welcome whoever comes to them they have left some major positions in the party to be occupied by those who lost during the elections that saw Akena becoming the president of the party.

Ebil said that if they don’t come back as leaders they will report back to Central executive committee which will take decision. Meanwhile Ebil says that Dr. Olara Otunnu is now a former president and therefore should leave the current leadership to do its work without interference
