Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president Patrick Amuriat and his predecessor, Dr. Kiiza Besigye, will today hold parallel media briefings as an apparent rift in the party’s top leadership deepens.
Both the party president and Secretary General are accused of taking money from the ruling party during the 2021 election period, claims they have since denied.
The duo intends to answer varying allegations against each other as the one-time largest opposition party melts down.
Additionally, Party spokesperson Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda and allied compatriots on Monday publicly accused party Secretary-General Nandala Mafabi of working with the state.
Amuriat’s press conference is to be held at the party headquarters in Najjanankumbi, while Dr. Besigye’s will be held at Katonga Road; both will be at 11 a.m.
Today, the former president, Besigye of the party, and the current president, Amuriat, are to solve all the wrangles of the FDC party.
This was during a national consultative meeting organized by a group led by Ssemujju and deputy president Erias Lukwago, reportedly without the approval of the president.
In conclusion, Patrick Amuriat and his predecessor, Dr. Kiiza Besigye, will today hold parallel media briefings as an apparent rift in the party’s top leadership deepens. The duo intends to answer varying allegations against each other as the one-time largest opposition party melts down.
