At least 50 National Unity Platform (NUP) members from Kigezi Subregion on Monday crossed to ruling party National resistance movement-NRM.

The president said; The NRM will support their reintegration into society. I also congratulate the former prisoners for realizing their mistakes & turning away from misleading opposition politics, thereby earning our forgiveness.

These bad leaders in NUP and some sections of FDC misguide the youth into danger, resulting in unnecessary deaths. They really have nothing to offer.

Led by their regional coordinator and MP candidate for Rubanda East Jasper Ayebare,the candidates said they would vote for President Yoweri Museveni and all NRM flag Bearers in the forthcoming elections.

The candidates were received offially at national teachers college in Kabale by state minister for planning David Bahati.
