National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate for Bukedea county Ekoom Stephen has scoffed at Bukedea district NRM leadership for staging fake defectors.
Ekoom who was speaking to this website said that ruling party leadership handpicked a number of NRM youth in Bukedea and claimed that they defected from NUP.
"This is a joke of the year, we don't have people called mobilizers neither do we know the people paraded here." He said
"The actual truth is that one of our members called David defected about two weeks ago, the rest are NRM defecting to NRM." Ekoom added
Ekoom has also reaffirmed that National Unity Platform is gaining strength in the district after receiving several defectors from NRM.
