Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) President, Joseph Bbosa has confirmed that before the end of this year, the party will have held its presidential elections with a committee to lead the process yet to be named.

According to Bbosa, a team from the party will soon be moving around the country meeting members to forge a way forward on how they would love to see the party move as per the polls.
Bbosa however, pins NRM for being behind the protection of the illegal faction that is currently occupying the party offices on the 6th floor at Uganda house saying this is a plan by NRM to weaken the opposition which he says will not yield results.

The other UPC faction is led by late Milton Obote’s son Jimmy Akena where they have had confrontations on various occasion with the main faction of the party.

UPC President Olara Otunu

The duo were attending the celebrations to mark 100 years of the Catholic faith in Acholi region and during the celebration of mass,  Otunnu shook hands with Museveni during the liturgical rite of peace.

Otunnu says there were two handshakes, one of which was extended to the President because the rite of peace is part of the Catholic celebration of Holy mass.

He has defended his move saying it was an act of faithfulness to the liturgy as a faithful worshipper and that the second handshake, which saw the President move from his seat to Otunnu’s place to shake his hand, can only be explained by Museveni.
