The Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) National Disciplinary Committee (NDC), chaired by Peter Paul Okello, has recommended the dismissal of several party members following disciplinary proceedings over allegations of misconduct.

The recommendations were announced during a media briefing held today, 17 September, at the UPC headquarters at Uganda House, where the committee finalised its report and presented its findings.

According to Okello, Denis Adim Enap, who has publicly claimed the UPC presidency, faced eight major allegations. These included the unauthorised printing and use of UPC seals and letterheads, allegedly presenting himself as the party president, mobilising individuals to attack party staff at Uganda House, and allegedly working with the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) to undermine the current party leadership under Jimmy Akena.

Alongside Adim, the committee recommended the dismissal of Jack Khabusi, Magero Emmanuel Were, Aisha Naome Natukunda and Josephine Babirye.

Peter Paul Okello speaks about the recommendation to dismiss Denis Adim Enap from the UPC.

Meanwhile, allegations brought against four other respondents by UPC National Vice Chairperson Brenda Atim Kinyera, accusing them of openly campaigning for President Yoweri Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) during the 2026 general elections, were dismissed after the complainant failed to appear before the committee.

The four respondents were Alex Ogwal Adyebo, former LCV Chairperson of Kwania District; Chris Ongom, former Vice Chairman of Oyam District; George Ewal, a UPC mobiliser; and Suzan Achola, former UPC candidate for Apac District Woman Member of Parliament.

Speaking to our reporter after the ruling, Geoffrey Alex Ogwal Adyebo maintained that he remains a loyal member of the UPC, despite publicly defending his decision to support President Yoweri Museveni and the NRM.

Ogwal says he remains a loyal UPC member despite supporting the NRM.

The disciplinary proceedings come amid an ongoing internal power struggle within the UPC, with divisions emerging over party leadership and the political positions taken by some members.

Despite the absence or boycott by some respondents, the committee proceeded with the hearings, relying on witness testimonies and other submissions before finalising its report and recommendations.

The recommendations come amid continued internal tensions within the UPC, with the disciplinary process highlighting divisions over leadership, party loyalty and members’ political activities ahead of the 2026 general elections.
