Yesterday a group led by party’s chief whip Betty Amongi and Jimmy Akena sat at Christ the King and condemned the leadership of the party saying it was illegally elected.

UPC Vice President Joseph Bbosa says UPC as a peaceful and a democratic party instituted various organs for members to express their opinions and concerns but none of them has ever appeared before the organs.

Bbosa adds that in two weeks time back, the party had a retreat summit and if the group had the party at heart as they claim they would have brought their claims on board than using media.
