Ugandan ‘rebel MPs’ beg Museveni for forgiveness

A group of Ugandan ruling party MPs have paid a visit to President Yoweri Museveni to “seek the party’s forgiveness” for previously “opposing certain party positions”.

President Museveni posted a series of photos on Twitter of
the meeting at State House in Entebbe, near the capital, Kampala.

“The party’s central executive committee resolved that
for the party’s cohesion and discipline, we interact further and guide these
MPs,” the 75-year-old president said.

He also urged the MPs to avoid the politics of ethnicity and
identity

Uganda is set to hold general elections in January 2021 when
Mr Museveni is expected to seek a sixth term in office.
