NUP Supporters Shocked as UAE-Based ‘Kadama’ Orders Party Leaders to Use Kyagulanyi’s Poster as Profile Picture
Supporters of the National Unity Platform (NUP) have been left stunned after a UAE-based domestic worker, identified as Mariam and popularly known as Mariam wa Kyagulanyi, issued a directive to the party’s top officials — including party president Robert Kyagulanyi — to upload his presidential campaign poster as their profile picture on social media.
Mariam’s command, which she framed as a show of seriousness in the political struggle, has sparked mixed reactions within the party’s base. While some saw it as a passionate call for unity, others questioned how an overseas supporter could wield such influence, even to the point of seemingly threatening top party figures.
The unusual episode has left many wondering about the internal dynamics of NUP and who truly drives its political agenda.
