NUP’s suspension letter emphasizes Andama’s responsibility to uphold party values and strategic positions. He’ll face disciplinary proceedings after the suspension.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) has suspended Kyambogo University Guild President, Andama Emmanuel for six weeks for attending a meeting with Col. Edith Nakalema’s State House Investors Protection Unit.
The suspension, announced on January 9, 2025, is for six weeks, during which Andama won’t represent or speak for NUP. The party cited principles that prohibit association with the current regime, deemed to undermine democratic principles and repress dissent.
Andama, elected under the NUP flag, was part of a 36-student leader meeting on January 6, 2026, where they discussed service, discipline, and responsibility in leadership roles.
Other attendees included Makerere University Guild President Churchill Ssentamu and UNSA Chairperson Ainembabazi Sheilla.

Andama was elected Guild President under the NUP flag, following the dismissal of Akiso Benjamin, who was removed for leading a protest against unfair tuition policies. Akiso’s dismissal sparked outrage from NUP, with party leader Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) condemning the move as a politically motivated attack on student activism.
