King Saha Critiques NUP Politicians for Abandoning Party Ideals.

King Saha, the popular Ugandan musician, has publicly criticized politicians from the National Unity Platform (NUP), particularly Members of Parliament and councilors, for what he perceives as a betrayal of the party's core ideals. Speaking at the NUP headquarters during a memorial prayer for comrades lost in the 2020 Kampala riots, Saha expressed his disappointment in the silence of these politicians regarding pressing issues affecting their constituents.

Saha emphasized that voters are closely monitoring their representatives, stating, “You MPs and councilors, we as the voters have our eyes really wide open and watching you.” He warned that their lack of action and failure to address government injustices would have consequences come the next general elections. “Come the next general elections, we shall prove to you how much hatred and disappointment we have in you,” he added.

The singer’s remarks highlight a growing frustration among NUP supporters who feel that their leaders have not adequately represented their interests. Saha further indicated that the party would field young and ambitious candidates to challenge the current politicians in the 2026 elections, aiming to better reflect the desires of grassroots supporters.

His comments resonate with many within the party who believe that fresh leadership is necessary to reinvigorate NUP’s mission and restore faith in its representatives. By advocating for change, King Saha aims to encourage a new generation of leaders who are committed to fighting for justice and equality.
