This comes at the backdrop of accusations of the NUP elections committee side-lining legendary Musician Joseph Mayanja popularly known as Jose Chameleone who was battling the party card with Latif allegedly for being a catholic.
His announcement also has been attributed to the party’s new recruit and Mukono municipality legislator Betty Nambooze who vowed to support Lord mayor Elias Lukwago who is her long time buddy and not to support her party’s flag bearer Latif Sebagala which has caused a lot of questions in the corridors of power.
