Retired Col. Dr. Kiiza Besigye, a four time presidential candidate for the Forum for Democratic Change was reportedly treated to seemingly harsh reception during his two days consultative meetings in Amuria and Soroti districts which ended in Soroti city on Wednesday.
The kind of frenzy and elation that usually accompanied Dr Besigye’s entry into Teso was lacking from Tuesday when he set foot in his former strong hold as the FDC mobilizers attached to the Najjanankumbi faction kept away, with the proposed public rally at Soroti sports grounds called off at the last minute. Besigye and his Katonga faction were in Amuria and Soroti districts on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, to consult with the FDC delegates on the possible creation of the new party after a fallout with the Najjanankumbi faction led by Eng. Patrick Amuriat, the FDC president over allegations of dirty money. END
