There is confusion over the emergence of campaign posters of a four-time presidential candidate, Dr Kizza Besigye in Kampala, days after local media reported that had given up his hopes for the presidency.
The FDC party has been in talks to see that Dr. Besigye accepts to hold the party flag for the presidential position although there were allegations that he was not going to stand again because he believes that elections in Uganda are a process in futility.
The FDC bigwigs such as the party President Patrick Amuriat Oboi, party chairman Wasswa Biriggwa, mobilizing secretary, Ingrid Turinawe, former Leader of Opposition Wafula Oguttu, and Buganda Region Vice President Joyce Ssebugwawo, among others, have failed to convince Besigye to consider a fifth run for the presidency.
But currently posters of Besigye have been pinned at Najjanankumbi FDC head offices indicating that he could contest for the presidency once again. But John Kikonyogo, the FDC deputy spokesperson says those who want to know whether Besigye will be contesting should wait for just a little longer.
Picking of nomination forms will kick off tomorrow August 18, 2020 at the party headquarters and end on Wednesday when Besigye is expected to address the country and end the guessing about his candidature.
Meanwhile, FDC expressed dissatisfaction in the way the police is interfering with their party activities. Yesterday police tried to stop FDC elections in Mbale city where the party was trying to get candidates who will hold its flag in Mbale north constituency. Kikonyogo said such acts scare away many of its supporters who fear to be arrested.
