We have never entered any cooperation deal with DP bloc, says NUP

Opposition National Unity Platform has said it has never entered into any cooperation deal with the DP bloc, as some of its members allege.

“For the record NUP doesn’t and has never had any co-operation with the said group or the individuals at the said event. It follows therefore that you cannot end a non-existent co-operation. You cannot purport to get out of a non-existent marriage,” a statement by NUP said in part.

A group of politicians including Walter Lubega Mukaaku and Michael Mabikke among others convened a press conference in which they said they had ended their relationship with NUP.

They said NUP was using them for its selfish interests.

However, in a statement on Wednesday, NUP said it is not aware of the people who convened the press conference.

“People who joined NUP did so as individuals and received membership cards. Some of them ceased to be members when they ran for election as independents or under other political parties.”

“The claims as well as the attention seeking persons in question should be ignored and treated with the contempt they deserve.”
