Her Deputy, Ykee Benda will take over office as acting President of UMA, awaiting elections to get a new leader of the Association.

UMA was established in 2019 after Ugandan artistes detached themselves from the Uganda Performers Rights Society (UPRS) due to unsatisfactory results from the body, which had promised to help generate revenue from their music and help them monetise their craft.
