NUP Lawyer Wameli loses battle to cancer

The head of National Unity Platform (NUP) party legal department, Anthony Wameli who has been hospitalized since 2021 has died.

NUP party president, Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine announced the death on Wednesday afternoon.

“Very sad day! Just learnt of the untimely passing of our dear brother and Head of our Legal Team, comrade Wameli Anthony from the U.S. where he’s been admitted for treatment. Details will be provided in due course. May his soul rest in eternal peace,” Kyagulanyi said in a tweet.

Wameli was in 2021 admitted to St. Anthony medical center in Kasangati, Wakiso district due to stomach related complications.

The lawyer was a few weeks later in June 2021 flown out of the country to the Boston Medical Center in Massachusetts in the United States of America where he was  battling stage four cancer and it is where he died Wednesday.

Family sources say Wemali was battling cancer.

He was the founder and a managing partner for Wameli and Company Advocates.
