A source at FDC intimated to our informer that Besigye’s party has not received donor funding since March. We are told that some leading donors of opposition parties in Uganda are not happy by the way FDC performed in last February general polls. Besigye has unsuccessfully contested thrice for president.

A source sitting on FDC National Executive Committee tells us that the money the party has been basing on to run its activities has been coming from Besigye as an individual.

It further explains that some of the donors give Besigye money as an individual and he is free to divert it to party activities or not. One of the leading FDC sponsors is conservative parties in US and Europe.
