Infighting continues within the Uganda People\u2019s Congress party, with the faction led by Dr Olara Otunu asking the other members to reject Jimmy Akena as the party president.<\/p>\n
The National chairman of the Otunu Faction Prof. Edward Kakonge says the party Members should stop treating Akena as the party president, saying this was a resolution made during the Party\u2019s national council meeting held in Mukono last week, which Akena\u2019s Faction treated as illegal.<\/p>\n
On Friday last week the Court of Appeal issued an interim order staying the implementation of High court orders that had revoked the\u00a0election of James Akena as\u00a0president of the Uganda People\u2019s Congress party.<\/p>\n
This is after the Deputy Chief Justice Steven Kavuma heard Akena\u2019s application in which he\u00a0restrained his rivals including Joseph Bbosa, Prof. Edward Kakonge and Otto Imizza from\u00a0interfering\u00a0with Akena\u2019s leadership and running\u00a0of the party\u2019s bank accounts both at Orient and Barclays Banks, until the main appeal is determined.<\/p>\n
Justice\u00a0 Kavuma\u2019s order \u00a0 reversed\u00a0 orders of High court Judge Yasin Nyanzi issued on\u00a0 in August \/2016 cancelling the election of James Akena as UPC president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
