Finally!! Kizza Besigye Reveals Why He Desperately Wants To Have Talks With Museveni

Opposition leader Dr Kizza Besigye has spoken out on a proposal for talks with Ugandan long serving ruler and National Resistance Movement (NRM) chairman Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni.

Previously NRA Bush war confidants and partners in the primary 10 years of the post-war system, Besigye and Museveni dropped out at the turn of the millenium.So far, Besigye has been Museveni’s most ardent critic.

According to the results that have been released by the country’s Electoral Commission (EC), whose officials are appointed by the president — a candidate in all of the nearly four-decade-long presidential elections — he has previously challenged his former ally four times in a row, although unsuccessfully.There are now growing calls for talks between the regime in Entebbe and the opposition.

However Besigye has come out to speak about it..Besigye who was In Masaka on September 12, was joined by his fellow Katonga Road faction leaders such as Kampala Lord Mayor and FDC Deputy President Erias Lukwago as well as party spokesperson, also Kira Municipality MP, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda.

On talks with Museveni, Besigye says he does not support the idea of negotiations with the NRM/NRA ‘junta.’ However, he would back the idea if Museveni was ready to exit State House and peacefully hand over power. Besigye made it abundantly clear that the only thing he wants from Museveni’s talks is for him to move out of State House and go to Rwakitura.

“I personally will not accept to negotiate with Mr Museveni save for one thing that I will be prepare to talk about – that is the mechanism of his departure,” Besigye Said

In 2022, there were reports that Besigye had held secret talks with Museveni. But Besigye came out to clear the air.
