After months of intense conflict, the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has reached a critical juncture, as its Katonga Road-based faction has unveiled plans to establish a distinct political entity, separate from the party’s headquarters in Najjanankumbi.

The announcement of this initiative was made public on Wednesday by the faction’s interim President, Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, during a meeting with the party’s district chairpersons nationwide.

“Those dedicated to challenging the regime should contemplate adopting a fresh identity and advancing the goal of reshaping Uganda,” remarked Lukwago.

“This essentially involves establishing a new political entity,” he emphasized.

Despite the faction’s legal action against their counterparts in Najjanankumbi, Lukwago noted the urgency of the situation, stating that awaiting a court decision until the next elections is not feasible. The proposal garnered substantial support from various officials, including Col Dr. Besigye, the FDC party’s founder, who expressed willingness to depart from the original institution he helped establish.

“This may be the opportune moment to cut ties and forge ahead. While it presents challenges, it remains a viable option,” remarked Besigye.

“While some may doubt our prospects of success, I remain steadfast in our ability to triumph.” Besigye Added

Hon Ssemujju Nganda of Kira Municipality, known for exposing the NRM cash scandal within the party, voiced support for establishing a new entity, citing the reluctance of Najjanankumbi to relinquish control peacefully.

“Some are unwilling to part ways with FDC. They prefer its demise, but I choose a different path. Circumstances sometimes necessitate a rebrand,” asserted Nganda, who reportedly announced his intention to leave FDC next year.

Ambassador Wasswa Birigwa, the former Party Chairperson, echoed sentiments of moving beyond FDC, citing its altered state.

“The FDC as we knew it no longer exists, prompting consideration of this proposal,” noted Birigwa.

It was disclosed during the meeting that the top leadership of the Katonga Faction, led by Dr. Besigye and President Lukwago, will commence a nationwide two-month consultation tour to garner support for the establishment of a new party among grassroots members.
