On Tuesday of this week, MP Nyeko Derrick announced he will not be participating in the upcoming 2026 MP race for Makindye East.
The incumbent MP for the constituency did not reveal the reasons for his decision but said it was after deep reflection that he chose to come to that conclusion.
"I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to all who have believed in me throughout the years I have been entrusted with leadership. It is with a heart full of joy that I have served you with honor, respect, and a deep commitment never to betray the trust of your vote.
I know this decision may not be easy for my team and supporters to accept, especially after our strong belief that we would once again win the Makindye East MP seat. However, after deep reflection, I have made the difficult decision not to offer myself for election in the upcoming polls," he explained.
Nyeko explained that the choice to quit the race will not affect the victories he has registered and that he remains committed to the struggle for freedom.
"This choice does not diminish the journey we have walked together, nor the victories we have achieved. It is my hope that the spirit of unity, resilience, and service to our people will remain stronger than ever. I remain the man of no corruption, no problems. With humility and gratitude, Hon. Nyeko Derrick." he added.
For the past year, Nyeko Derrick has faced much criticism, mostly online, from different people who accuse him of unfulfilled promises.
He has also been engaged in online disputes with various NUP foot soldiers on social media who accuse him of selfishness.
