Dear UPC members,
Watch out the new NRM-zero game on UPC after dealing a similar game at DP. This is really cheap. We know that this is all they have ever had ever since they purported to be fighting because of "rigged" elections in 1981.
Bwana Museveni it does not work that way my poor friend.

New UPC party to registerw
By Alfred Wasike
A new Uganda People�s Congress (UPC) party is being registered after the old one ceased to exist on January 17, 2003, its promoters said yesterday.
The promoters argue that under the Political Parties and other Organisations Act (PPOA), parties that failed to register six months from July 17, 2002 ceased to exist.
They said the UPC and other parties, namely, the Democratic Party (DP), the Uganda Patriotic Movement (UPM) and the Conservative Party (CP) ceased to exist on January 17, 2003.
The promoters are Allan Mugabi of Ishaka Town Council, Bushenyi, Edith Tayebwa, also from Bushenyi, Ernest Niyongira of Rwamata, Kiboga and Angel Mpoza of Busega, Kampala.
The promoters� lawyer, Paul Tusubira, said the Registrar of Political Parties and organisations, Juliet Nassuna, had confirmed their application.
Tusubira also asked Nassuna to reserve the name of UPC. He said the new UPC party symbol was a palm (ekiganja) and it
s
colours black, red and blue, which match those of the old UPC.
The promoters said, �The name has been reserved. This means UPC cannot be registered by any other person.�
The Constitutional Court last week ordered political parties to register within six months from November 17, or cease to exist.
The old UPC and DP had asked the court to nullify what they described as unconstitutional clauses in the PPOA before they would register.
Soon after the ruling, UPC�s presidential policy commission chief Dr. James Rwanyarare picked registration forms.
The new UPC promoters warned Rwanyarare and the Registrar General of heavy costs if they �continue offending the laws of Uganda.�
However, Rwanyarare has described the new promoters as clowns acting unconstitutionally and promised them the �full thrust of the law.�
�They cannot act against the Constitutional Court judgement. We shall parade them in court. Particularly Tusubira will be paraded for obtaining m
oney by
false pretences from his clients because he knows that he is acting unconstitutionally,� Rwanyarare said.
