FORUM for Democratic Change kingpin leader Kizza Besigye has received massive support in Kabala town as he leaves court where he appeared for mention of his case.
The five opposition leaders’ procession in Kabale town this morning sent the usually silent south western town into commotion.
Opposition leader Dr Kizza Besigye, Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and Kawempe South MP Mubarak Munyagwa are currently appearing before Agatonica Mbabazi, the Kabale Chief Magistrate, for the hearing of their longstanding case of inciting violence and causing malicious damage.
The former FDC presidential candidate had earlier missed a court appearance in June because he was in jail on treason charges. Besigye has since been released on bail, paving the way for him to be in Kabale for today’s court session.
Besigye’s other co-accused include Ingrid Turinaawe, FDC secretary for mobilization, Roland Kaginda, Rukungiri municipality MP, Imam Makumbi, the Mbarara Democratic Party chairperson.
