Singer Maurice Kirya has withdrawn from the race to become the next Uganda Musicians Associations president. Kirya had earlier expressed interest and sent his representatives to pick up application forms.
The Singer, however, did not turn up for nomination on Monday, leaving the race for Cindy Sanyu and King Saha.
Kirya explained through his social media why he couldn’t pick the nomination forms.
“To my fellow Ugandan musicians, my interest in joining the race for UMA President has regrettably come a little too late for my team and I as stupilated by UMA Electoral Commission guidelines.
I’m out of the country (Uganda) and thought I would act quick and get back ready for tomorrow’s (Monday) nomination process but unfortunately due to Covid-19 protocols, it hasn’t been possible. I can’t have an early flight as earlier projected.
Therefore, it’s with a heavy heart that I have decided to withdraw my application for the UMA Presidency because I would have preferred to represent myself, to listen to my fellow artists and fellow candidates in person.
I will however continue working with artists and contribute to the development of our Ugandan music in
