This was revealed by the chairman of the caucus Godfrey Kiwanda while speaking to journalists at parliament.
Kiwanda said that Kawooya membership is still open for her to continue performing her duties for the good of Buganda Region when she feels she wants to join the caucus again.

He however questioned the manner in which she resigned from the caucus saying it’s unfounded and as a leader she would have thought twice.

Kiwanda explained that Buganda caucus took a decision not to support any Candidate from Buganda on understanding with other regions but not that they hated Kawooya as an individual.
