OPPOSITION Democratic Party top organ NEC sitting at the newly acquired Headquaters at Balintuma in Mengo, Kampala has today evenning fired embattled Sulaiman Sserwadda Kidandala from the office National Organizing Secretary and replaced him with Mr. Shafic Dembe in the capacity of Acting.

This has given Party President General Hon. Nobert Mao and his team a win with a very big margin against the party rebels.

According to a copy of NEC resolutions leaked to the News Editor Online, a motion to fire Kidandala was moved by Mr. Dick Lukyamuzi and Seconded by youth leaders Rita Nakyanzi and Christopher Okidi in a well attended meeting amidst tight security after goons allegedly hired by a clique of DP rebels attempted to disorganize NEC meeting.

Party Chairmen of three districts; Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono have been also removed and party top offices will be the care takers of these districts.

Kidandala whose fate of winning DP ticket for Kawempe North MP seat in 2021 has been spoilt, party top organ offended him for, “Defying NEC resolution, unilaterally suspended the registration process and launched a parallel process based on unauthorized forms.”

In NEC wise ruling, Masaka district led by EALA MP who doubles as National DP VP and Masaka district party chairman has been cleared to proceed with their elections since there were no petition against the process. Kidandala wanted to illegally block this process.

In fact NEC saluted the Masaka process that had so far followed the law to the later.
