NUP makes U-turn, seeks to join IPOD
For years, NUP maintained it would never join IPOD, arguing that the platform had been turned into a tool for legitimising the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) and President Yoweri Museveni’s four-decade rule.
However, the party softened its stance last year following amendments to the Political Parties and Organisations Act, which made membership of IPOD a prerequisite for political parties to receive government funding.
As a result, NUP lost the approximately Shs 5 billion it had been receiving annually through the Electoral Commission.
In a letter dated June 18, NUP secretary general David Lewis Rubongoya formally expressed the party’s intention to join IPOD, saying it was ready to sign the organisation’s Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) despite the absence of party president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.

🚨 Dr Congo super fan Lumumba was denied a visa to travel to the USA.
So instead, he watched the final group game against Uzbekistan with friends.
And when the final whistle went… joy took over.
Dancing, celebrating, living every moment like he was inside the stadium.
Football finds a way even when borders don’t. ❤️⚽️

From inside the palace: Uganda President Yoweri Museveni's son-in-law Odrek Rwabwogo says he's extremely worried to the core about the direction the country is taking.
Rwabwogo has asked Ugandans to unite and speak out.
He says the army and NRM's vote rigging, bribery, ballot stuffing, shooting of voters in the 2026 general elections and monetisation of the country's politics are a bigger threat to Uganda than foreign invasion, flooding, and earthquake, because now it doesn't pay to be good at what you do and as such, we can't get good leaders, good teachers, good doctors anymore.
VIDEO: Armed soldiers are on guard outside the headquarters of Daily Monitor newspaper in Namuwongo, Kampala.
The offices remain under military siege following an order by President Museveni's son and military chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to shut down Nation Media Group (NMG) Uganda outlets, including Daily Monitor and NTV.
Other affected outlets include Dembe FM, Spark TV, KFM, and The East African, all under NMG.
A similar siege has been reported at the NTV and Spark TV broadcast centre at Serena Hotel since around 12am on Sunday, where military officials have since taken the stations off air.
