The powers of the leader of the National Unity Platform Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine have been reduced after the party amended its constitution.
The party proposed two five-year term limits for all party leaders and flag bearers at all levels, including the party president.
This was agreed upon during the party’s delegate conference that took place in Kampala last week.
The meeting, which was attended by over 66% of its members, largely debated proposals for the amendment of the party constitution, as presented by the constitutional review committee chaired by Medard Ssegona.
After a very long, hot and interactive debate, the amended Constitution was passed, with modifications to some of the proposals initially made by the committee.
The constitution removed the power of the President and the Secretary General to nominate delegates and expands the composition of the delegates conference from the current 150 members to more than 500 members.
