‘Wait for November elections’, Muntu tells ‘FDC rebels’

Must read

The President of the Forum for Democratic Change Major General (rtd) John Gregory Mugisha Muntu, has told those who want him out of party leadership to wait for internal elections in November.

“As a party we welcome all peoples opinions because we believe in cohesion and unity; however, whoever is unsatisfied with my leadership should wait for November then front of his preferred candidate or feel free to contest and become the new FDC president,” Maj Gen Muntu said while addressing the media today at the party Najjanankumbi headquarters.

Gen. Muntu was responding to reports that a group of FDC youths led by chairperson youth West Budama North Bernard Osinde Mupende, wanted him impeached for reportedly usurping the duties of the Secretary General, when he wrote a letter blocking the candidature of the FDC National Mobiliser Ingrid Turinawe Kamateneti, from contesting for the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).

And, commenting on the ensuing standoff, Gen Muntu said he was ready to face any repercussions if he acted in breach of the party resolutions.

“My calmness has been misinterpreted and that is why I have received a lot of insults; I have no impeachment pressure and neither have I received a letter of that kind,” Gen. Muntu said ahead of a three-day meeting convened by the party youths and members of the women’s league to review their strategic plans.

The youths and women are led by the FDC National Youth chairperson Idi Ouma and Secretary for Women in Buganda region Hamida Nnalongo Nasiimbwa, respectively who promised to mobilize fellow women in both leadership and economic growth aspects.
