Don’t Exceed Your Limits Or Face It Rough!! Mpuuga’s Supporter Sends Tough Message To Bobi Wine & NUP, Reveals What They Have Started Doing After Reform Talks Failed

A significant political standoff occurred on Thursday night during NBS TV’s Frontline show, where Mathias Mpuuga’s camp clashed with NUP leadership over their differing approaches to electoral reforms. The heated exchange centered around NUP’s decision to abandon reform talks in favor of direct political mobilization. Mpuuga’s ally, Mukaku Lubega, who represented the Democratic Alliance (DA), criticized NUP’s strategy, describing it as a dangerous departure from the opposition’s united push for electoral reforms. Lubega warned that bypassing these reform demands would only strengthen President Museveni’s hold on power.
The tension escalated when NUP’s strategist, Muwanga Kivumbi, defended their new approach. He argued that the party had already initiated nationwide mobilization efforts, as they believed that waiting for reforms would be futile. This revelation sparked a lively debate among the show’s participants. Mpuuga’s camp expressed concern over NUP’s regional activities, claiming that they were premature and could harm opposition unity. They pointed out that NUP had started grassroots organizing without consulting other opposition groups, which they viewed as problematic.
The television debate showcased the growing divide between the two opposition factions. Mpuuga’s team emphasized the importance of prioritizing electoral reform demands, while NUP representatives revealed their strategy of building political pressure through mass mobilization. Kivumbi further explained that NUP had redirected resources away from reform advocacy towards citizen engagement and community organizing efforts. This shift in focus underscored NUP’s strategy of exerting political pressure rather than relying on reform talks.
The political temperature continued to rise as Mpuuga’s representatives questioned the timing of NUP’s actions, suggesting that the party’s moves were undermining ongoing reform negotiations with the ruling NRM government. However, NUP remained steadfast in their belief that only through demonstrating political strength, rather than waiting for reforms, could they compel Museveni to consider meaningful changes. This public confrontation underscored the widening rift between Mpuuga’s reform-first approach and NUP’s new focus on direct political mobilization as they prepare for the 2026 elections.
