Moses Nkonge Kibalama, the founder of the party now known as the National Unity Platform (NUP), has today made an appearance at the party’s headquarters, where he officially announced the withdrawal of his court case challenging the party’s constitution.
Kibalama, who originally founded the National Unity, Reconciliation and Development Party before it later evolved into NUP, said his decision was driven by a desire for reconciliation rather than continued confrontation.
Speaking to the media, Kibalama explained that he no longer wants to pursue legal battles against the party leadership and instead hopes to see unity restored.
“I am withdrawing the case in the spirit of reconciliation,” he stated, signaling a possible thaw in relations after years of tension and public disagreements.
The court case had been one of the lingering legal issues hanging over the party, with Kibalama questioning changes made to the party’s constitution after NUP’s rebranding and restructuring.
His move has already sparked reactions within political circles, with some seeing it as a positive step toward internal harmony, while others remain cautious about what it could mean for the party’s future dynamics.
