'I Lost My 5M Job To Join You, If You Don't Give Me The NUP Flag I'll Join PFF Or PLU' Bobi Warned

Renowned media personality Zambaali Bulasio Mukasa has publicly issued a stern warning to National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Bobi Wine, demanding the party's flag for the upcoming elections or threatening to defect to rival opposition groups.

In a bold statement shared online, Zambaali declared, “I lost my 5 million [UGX] job at NBS TV to join you. If you don’t give me the NUP flag, I will join PFF or PLU.”

His comments have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with some supporters sympathizing with him while others criticized the ultimatum.

Zambaali, known for his articulate broadcasting and recent political ambitions, appears determined to vie for political office in 2026. L

His mention of alternative parties Dr. Kizza Besigye’s People’s Front for Transition (PFF) and Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) suggests growing competition among opposition groups for high-profile candidates.

This dramatic statement has put pressure on NUP’s vetting process and leadership, especially amid internal calls for transparency and fairness in flag-bearer selection ahead of the next general election
