Mpuuga’s suspension by NUP President Bobi Wine has left many supporters wondering about his future trajectory. Reports suggest that he may join forces with a breakaway faction from the Democratic Party (DP) that is urging him to establish a new political party. This faction includes key figures such as Michael Mabikke and Abed Bwanika, who are actively campaigning under the slogan “My Leader” across Greater Masaka and surrounding areas.
