National Unity Platform (NUP) Twitter account has lost its verification blue badge just two months after its president Bobi Wine loosing the General Elections.
According to reports we have received, while the party has not officially released a statement regarding the developments on its official Twitter handle, it is to be noted that the Twitter account was last updated two months ago.
In the last update, the party called upon its members to desist from any form of protest and violence “as we prepare to challenge the election outcome and its glaring imperfections through the courts of law for the sake of our long-term victory and for Uganda.”
A source within the party claims that the account has long since been abandoned after the teams noticed unusual activity on it.
“It could be for such reasons that Twitter chose to withdraw its verification as such to avoid the confusion,’ a member of the NUP executive claimed.
However, in the past sessions we have been celebrity pages and influencial Twitter pages keeping their verification badges even when they spend months without updating.
