Switching parties has become a new tactic among Ugandan politicians and former Makerere National Unity Platform’s founding president is the latest ‘monkey seeking bananas on a bamboo tree.’
Daniel Kituno Khaukha, former chairman Makerere NUP chapter, is now priding in the Makerere National Resistance Movement where he now serves as a member of the central executive committee.
Daniel Kituno was sighted on Monday 11th October with other members of the NRM MUK chapter but the question still stands: Why did he have to leave the National Unity Platform? A party that he formerly subscribed too.
According to sources: Having graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and failed to secure himself a well paying job, Kituno became frustrated. It’s from then that he began to accuse NUP leaders of only securing jobs for their family members.
At one point in the recent past, Kituno told one of those that was trolling him on social media that not everyone is lucky to win an election and that if you cannot win one, then win assets. And who knows, Kituno Daniel could have joined NRM to win himself a few assets too.
Having been defeated in the LC5 race for Manjiya constituency Bududa district in the 2021 polls, Daniel is now dreaming of ousting his former boss John Baptist Nambeshe, whose social media pages he once managed, out of parliament come 2026.
Kituno Daniel is optimistic that he will come on the NRM ticket and convince the same locals he once persuaded to join and vote for National Unity Platform in the recent 2021 polls to make him their area MP.
