The opposition Forum for Democratic Change FDC has announced that a nomination for presidential flag bearers kicks off on Tuesday 18th August 2020.
FDC deputy spokesperson John Kikonyogo says the presidential nominations will take two days only between Tuesday 18th to 19th Wednesday.
This comes at a time when the expectation is building within and outside the party for dr Kizza Besigye to come back for a re-run against the incumbent Museveni for the 5th time in a row.
At the FDC party headquarters in Najjanankumbi, hundreds of posters showing Besigye coming to run for the presidency in 2021-2026 have been pinned up both on the outside and inside.
Dr. Besigye has also dismissed allegations by the Mukono Municipality mp Betty Nambooze claiming that he had an agreement with the National Unity Platform-NUP president Robert Kyagulanyi to support him in the forthcoming elections.
Nambooze had claimed that FDC and National Unity Platform stroke a deal on who should take on incumbent Sevo and both parties decided that he should be none other than Bobi Wine.
He however categorically stated that there is no such a deal and that he has never engaged in underhand and secret deals.
”If discuss and agree we talk about our agreement. Whatever we have agreed with the leaders of the People Power Movement, we have communicated to the country… So there is no agreement to support anybody in the elections.”Besigye said in a video clip.
Kikonyogo when asked whether Dr. Kiiza Besigye will stand again in the 2021 polls declined to comment any further on the matter saying that Besigye is an eligible Ugandan and the public should wait and see.
