The Forum for Democratic Change FDC party leaders have urged newly elected delegates to follow the directives issued by the stewards at their Najanankumbi headquarters rather than aligning with the Katonga faction, which is being accused of hindering the party’s progress.
During the swearing-in ceremony of newly elected FDC delegates in Buikwe district yesterday, the leaders emphasized the importance of both grassroots and mobilization for the main elections.
However, they expressed concerns that certain influential figures within the party discourage these exercises, and pose a threat to internal party democracy and clean electoral processes.
Jimmy Kanabi, the Buikwe LC V chairperson and FDC leader in the district, acknowledged the contributions and sacrifices of party leaders aligned with both Najanankumbi and Katonga.
He, however, for the sake of continuity urged delegates to adhere to the official party position from the known headquarters.
Kanabi also called on delegates to shift their focus from internal conflicts to mobilizing grassroots support for the party and strengthening their position for the upcoming national elections.
Jamal Wante, a member of the FDC’s legal team, advised delegates to interpret the party’s constitution correctly and avoid being misled by self-seekers. Mr. Jamal speaking…..
He called for the support of party elders, including Dr. Kiiza Besigye, in strengthening internal democracy and embracing new leaders and ideas. END.
