The National Unity Platform has appointed Nakawa West MP Joel Ssenyonyi as the new Leader of Opposition in Parliament replacing Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba.


Speaking today at the party headquarters in Kampala, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the President of the National Unity Platform said the new appointments shouldn’t be seen as a demotion of Mpuuga but rather the party living to its spirit of changing leadership. He commended Mpuuga for the job well-done amidst multiple challenges. 

Mpuuga, the MP for Nyendo-Mukungwe Division in Masaka City  has now been appointed Commissioner of Parliament replacing Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake who has been appointed the shadow Minister for the Presidency and Security and also Deputy Chief Whip. 

Speaking after the announcement of the new changes, Mpuuga thanked Kyagulanyi for the opportunity to serve for two and a half years in the position. Ssenyonyi thanked the party for the appointment and promised to do everything to fulfil his responsibilities.
