A section of UPC members has vowed to cause the impeachment of their party president Jimmy Akena whom they accuse of violating the party constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Led by one Tom Omino, the members who addressed press at the Uganda Journalists Association(UJA) ofices in Kawempe today said Akena’s mandate expired in May this year and therefore his stay in office is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s against this background that the members endorsed his impeachment plan to protect their Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UPC Omino led group also vowed to mobilize their fellow Party members across the country to boycott the ongoing district conference nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They further protested the 20 million nomination fees that was endorsed for the presidential aspirants against the sitting president Jimmy Akena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
