FDC AND NUP DIVIDED ON WHO RUNS FOR PRESIDENCY IN THE FORTHCOMING 2026 ELECTIONS.


 

Opposition leaders recently signed an agreement to foster cooperation amongst themselves aimed at fielding a single opposition candidate for the 2026 presidential elections and other efforts geared towards ousting President Yoweri Museveni from power.

The agreement was signed during the joint opposition press conference held at Hotel Africana on 1st/August/2022 Monday afternoon which attracted leaders from change-seeking forces from the four political parties including Forum for Democratic Change- FDC, National Unity Platform- NUP, Justice Forum- JEEMA, People’s Progressive Party- PPP and People’s Front for Transition.

It however resulted to disagreements on who to rally for Presidency against either President Museveni or Muhoozi Kainerugaba who is rumored for 2026 elections since Robert Kyagulanyi is not willing to support Kiiza Besigye and the reverse is true.

Robert Kyagulanyi accuses Besigye for working with the NRM Government while as Besigye believes Bobi Wine is part of the NRM project after President Museveni declared zero opposition in the recently concluded elections.

We need this pipeline as a region, we should just look at ensuring its...
