NUPs Derrick Nyeko marries Fiance
By Lydia Etii Ajwang
Derrick Nyeko the member of Parliament for Makindye got married in a colourful traditional ceremony to his beautiful fiance Ruth Kirabo.Derrick Nyeko asked his fiance to marry him in late December 2022 to which she she said yes in a colourful proposal.
The proposal was dramatic as the one girl he has always been seen with,whom everyone assumed to be his girlfriend and fiance was not the girl he proposed to.
This left alot of people who had been inspired by his publicised love life disappointed since he didn’t propose to the one he is associated with.,a one Carol Namutsyaba,a Bobi wine die hard who was there for him during his campaigns.
This created different camps as ladies started saying men can’t be trusted and and another camp saying maybe the other lady did something for him to refuse to propose to her
Honourable Nyeko is a member of Parliament for Makindye who won the seat on NUP ticket during the NUP wave as the slogan “Buli woolaba umbrella tickinga”.It should be remembered that Nyekos candidature was doubted since he was a Councillor Makindye on NRM ticket but now he seems to have assimilated into the Kamwokya based National Unity Party properly.
Who is Nyeko?
Derrick Nyeko Keko (born 1992) is a Ugandan politician, Member of Parliament representing Makindye East in Uganda’s 11th Parliament (2021-2026) and Shadow Minister for Presidency and Security. He is a member of the opposition party, National Unity Platform (NUP) and a supporter of the People Power, Our Power movement. He was earlier associated with the ruling party National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Nyeko served as the Secretary of Student Affairs in the Uganda Youth Council for Market Zone in 2011. He was later elected as Secretary for Publicity in the same year and worked with the Buganda Youth Council at the parish level. He also served as the Youth Councilor for Makindye Urban Council and also as the NRM Youth Council Publicity Secretary for Kampala, a position that caused controversy as he was seen to belong to two political parties, the ruling NRM and the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP).
Nyeko crossed from National Resistance Movement (NRM) to National Unity Platform (NUP) as a protest against the extension of age limits for presidency which would see president Museveni stay in power for more than 35 years. He then contested for a parliamentary seat for Makindye East and emerged victorious beating the incumbent Hon. Ibrahim Kasozi of FDC, another opposition party. He was then appointed Shadow Minister for Presidency and Security in the Shadow cabinet by the leader of the Uganda opposition Hon. Mathias Mpuuga.
