According to Fatima Nansubuga alias people power iron lady,, who is the Mulago 3 woman local council 3 NUP flag bearer, this is the time when as a party they should start making the whole country familiar with the Kyagulanyi Poster in its original shape with no red beret, so that by the time they reach voting period, they are not confused by the posters.
