AKAMPA RUGABA: The only serious opposition was Besigye’s FDC (2006-2011), the rest are just schemers!

Well, as I write this, the country is confusing the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) as a new political party that has come to dislodge President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Tibuhaburwa!

Yes, whereas PLU seems more organized than current registered Political Parties like the National Unity Platform (NUP) of Kavule, and Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) of Najjanankumbi, yet it is just a political pressure group within the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

It will continue to largely mobilise opposition to come into the NRM fold like it has so far fished Hon Kagabo, many others will come back to the movement fold.

Bazzukulu Ba Museveni being commanded by SPA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye will continue to mobilize more Ugandans for social-economic transformation but also enable citizens to tap into Government programmes and increase support to deliver H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Tibuhaburwa’s 2026 victory.

The Bazzukulu will be a formidable force to reckon with in the 2025/2026 general elections, the other groups like PLU and others will complement the work being done by SPA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye and the Bazzukulu.

Much more will be delivered, the opposition will get more confused and at the end of the game, the National Unity Platform (NUP) of Mr Bobi Wine, will be more naked and so vulnerable to stand the test of time!

In fact, the Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) of Dr Kiiza Besigye, in the years, 2006/2011 is the only opposition political party that was more serious. FDC of then had issue-based campaigns and a manifesto that was more speaking to Ugandans of that time than these schemers seated at Kavule!

It is most likely that we will never have any other opposition political party that is as serious as the FDC of Dr Kiiza Besigye! Intelligence has it that Dr Kiiza Besigye and his Katonga group are in talks with the Top leadership of the National Unity Platform (NUP)!

Actually, some of us, when we see Dr Kiiza Besigye trying to forge an alliance with NUP, we do not only pity him and his group of the Lord Mayor Elias Lukwago, Hon Doreen Nyanjura and others, but we feel so sorry for them! This would be the last nail in the coffin to bury Uganda’s Opposition!

This alliance will make the opposition more vulnerable and weaken further given the fact that the NUP of Mr Kyaguranyi Ssentamu will not trust the FDC branch of Katonga to come and take over! There is a lot of mistrust already within NUP and neither you can’t expect those coming from FDC to be trusted!
Therefore, this alliance is already a sham!

As NRM, the pace is already set, the momentum is building up and our Presidential material candidate is none other than H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Tibuhaburwa.

Ugandans all over the Country are demanding that he (H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni) stays on the Ballot come 2026 and will massively vote for him this time around than never before.

Those still in NUP and FDC are free to cross over and join the mass political party, National Resistance Movement (NRM) as we build a secure future for all Ugandans.
