Mr Walubiri was declared the new party leader on December 17 by the party’s electoral commission chairperson, Mr Hamza Sewankambo, against three others, having garnered 278 votes of the 593 delegates from 98 districts, writes Elizabeth Kamurungi.
In what was a low-key, and strange-timed election, Mr Peter Walubiri was elected the new party president of the Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC).
The declaration made on December 17, a result of an election birthed by the nullification of Mr Jimmy Akena’s presidency, comes just a month before Ugandans go to the polls to choose their leader for the next five years, an opportunity the Independence-deliverer missed out on.
