One of the party presidential candidate Godfrey Ekanya says FDC will be a stronger party fter the party
elections in November.

Ekanya says that the elections will help in developing the party as it will create a party that is based on institutions than individuals.
He says that none of the three candidates in the race is more important than the party so whether one of them leaves after losing
the party can still grow.

Meanwhile Ekanya has appreciated the electoral process in the party saying that even the delegates have come to know the importance of democracy.

He says that he has managed to cover 90% of the country saying that he is only remaining with Bukedea sub region which he plans to end with next week.
Ekanya is competing with Nandala Mafabi and Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu to replace Dr. Kizza Besigye and FDC party president.

Besigye’s camp in FDC reportedly started witch-hunting Okumu and group in February last year after the general elections.  The problem of FDC rebel MPs started when they asked Besigye to quit politics after he lost the presidential bid thrice.

Okumu and group reportedly told Besigye to step down and get replaced by a person who doesn’t come from western Uganda where Besigye and Museveni hails from. In what looks like a punishment, Okumu was dropped as chairperson of the committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises. He was also dropped from the shadow cabinet.

Ekanya was also dropped from the post of chairperson of the Local Government Accounts Committee, a post he held in the 8th Parliament. Nabillah too is witch-hunted because she supported Okumu’s proposal to have Besigye out. In retaliation the FDC rebel MPs have also vowed not to support party activities.
