REVEALED! PARLIAMENT LEAK NAMES MPs FOR, AGAINST SOVEREIGNTY BILL

A political storm has erupted after an alleged leaked report from Parliament laid bare the names of MPs who are backing, and those resisting, the controversial Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026.

The explosive document shows a clear divide inside the Joint Committee, with 36 legislators quietly signing off on the Bill while 20 refused, setting the stage for a fierce showdown in the House today when the bill will be debated.

The leaked list, now circulating widely, exposes how lawmakers positioned themselves behind closed doors, fueling tension, sparking outrage, and igniting fresh debate over the future of the country’s sovereignty and democratic space.

The development indicates a significant parliamentary tilt in favour of the proposed legislation ahead of its anticipated debate and voting in the House. The Majority Report, now circulating in political and media circles, formally recommends that Parliament passes the Bill, which has been at the centre of intense national debate over sovereignty, governance, and external influence.

The identities of the MPs who signed the report have also surfaced through leaked screenshots, further exposing the internal positions of legislators before the matter is formally tabled for plenary consideration.

The Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, has drawn both support and criticism from various stakeholders. Proponents argue that it is a necessary legal instrument to safeguard Uganda’s national interests and shield the country from undue foreign interference. Critics, however, have raised concerns over potential implications for civil liberties, international partnerships, and Uganda’s global standing.

With the Majority Report now pointing to firm committee-level support, attention shifts to the full Parliament, where the Bill’s fate will ultimately be decided.

This latest revelation is likely to intensify political lobbying, public scrutiny, and partisan positioning as MPs prepare for what is shaping up to be a defining legislative battle.
