We have heard from very many supporters of A4C in different parts of the country requesting the A4C leaders including Col. Kiiza Besigye (FDC), Masaka Municipality MP Mathias Mpuuga and MP Betty Nambooze (DP) among others to register A4C as a political party in Uganda.

This is because A4C has managed to bring together members of different political shades like FDC, Justice Forum, DP, Conservative Party and SDP among others.

Ugandans who believe in activities of A4C argue that it is only A4C which can unite all political forces in Uganda a thing which the now defunct Inter-party Cooperation (IPC) failed to do. So when in 2016 you see A4C as one of the registered political parties/organisations in Uganda don’t raise your eye brows and developed high blood pressure!!!

A source in Mabikke’s party, the Social Democratic Party tell us that Mabikke is bitter because all members of opposition parties are being harassed by the ruling government but when FDC leaders go to human rights organisations, they report there that the government is harassing their supporters without specifying that even SDP supporters are harassed.

We hear that Mabikke wants SPD to start his own pressure on government such that he too can go to donors and tell them that his supporters are being persecuted like the way Col. Kiiza Besigye reportedly does to get donor funding.

When contacted Mabikke explained that SDP is an independent party and it is free to carry out its activities without leaning on FDC.

Badru Kigundu not wanted at EC (DM)

Addressing journalists after the police blocked their rally at the clock tower grounds this afternoon, the President of Forum for Democratic Change, Dr. Kiiza Besigye re-echoed the IPC’s call on Ugandans of voting age to register and be able to participate in the 2011 general elections.

The group had earlier defied the police and staged a demonstration at the railway grounds despite heavy police deployment around the Kampala streets.

They were however intercepted by anti riot police as they matched towards clock tower grounds for a rally.

The police have vowed to crash such illegal demonstrations, advising the IPC members to follow the right procedure and seek police permission.

The Inter Party Cooperation accuses the electoral commission of being biased towards the ruling NRM government, a claim that the commission has often denied.

The IPC is a coalition of opposition political parties including the FDC, Justice Forum, Uganda Peoples’ Congress and Conservative Party.
