A delegation of opposition politicians led by Mawokota South Member of Parliament Yusuf Nsibambi on Thursday met President Kaguta Museveni at State House Entebbe to discuss national stability and reconciliation in the aftermath of the January 2026 general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nsibambi said the meeting centred on calming political tensions and promoting unity following a highly charged election period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe meeting was about peace and reconciliation for the development and stability of the country, especially after the general elections that left some people\u2019s tempers high,\u201d Nsibambi said in an exclusive interview with a local TV station .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He revealed that the fate of hundreds of political prisoners featured prominently in the discussions, with the delegation appealing to the President to consider granting a pardon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opposition MPs also raised concerns over the incarceration of Butambala County MP Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, calling for an independent and thorough investigation into his case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe asked the President to have a proper inquest into Kivumbi\u2019s case and not to believe in the existing propaganda,\u201d Nsibambi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to criticism from some opposition circles over his decision to meet the President without wider consultation, Nsibambi defended his actions, saying he acted independently and in the national interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo one sent me to the opposition. I\u2019m an elected MP, and I\u2019ll engage with whoever I deem necessary for the good of my constituents and the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other opposition legislators who attended the meeting included Okot Bitek of Kioga County (FDC), and former Kasese Municipality MP Robert Centenary, Moses Kabusu of Kyamuswa County (PFF), Roland Ndyomugyenyi of Rukiga County, nd former Kawempe North MP Latif Ssebagala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert Centenary Deputy President of FDC Western, Mukono South MP Fred Kayondo of DP, Richard Lumu of Mityana South (DP), among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
