The second oldest party in the country elections follows the three Court of Appeal justices judgement that the Hon. Jimmy Akena’s wing was illegally in office.  

Three judges led by lady justice Irene Mulyagonja, judgement faulted the incumbent Jimmy Akena’s rule as illegal thus ordering for fresh elections.

However, the Jimmy Akena’s faction that is currently housed at the party headquarters in Kampala at Uganda house maintain they are legally in office
