IGARA– Counsel Tumukunde Joshua the National Unity Platform’s (NUP) Head Legal Team – Western Region, the party flag bearer for Igara East Constituency has expressed interest not to contest in the forthcoming general elections.

“I regret to inform you that I am unable to proceed with this candidature due to financial constraints. Nonetheless, I remain fully committed to serving the party and advancing its mission.” Reads part of the letter dated 16th October addressed to NUP President, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.

“In addition, I reaffirm my dedication to defending human rights and providing free legal services to political prisoners across the country, as I have consistently done in the past.” added Tumukunde
