DP seems to benefit first in EALA after one of its leaders, Mukasa Fred Mbidde got a place in EALA house, and they have easily moved in to form an alliance with CHADEMA, Tanzania’s leading opposition party which has 50% of MPs in Tanzanian parliament.

Our informers in Arusha tell us that there were secret meetings the whole of last week between the DP president, Norbert Mao and the CHADEMA’s leadership in Arusha to form strategies for power takeover in the coming elections in both countries that is Uganda and Tanzania.

It is believed that CHADEMA is the wealthiest opposition party in East Africa with its president general having over 10 planes of his own. Therefore we are told that DP seems to benefit from this alliance more.

In politics every person is important. Makerere University councilor Bernard Luyiga is now full of smiles after the president general of the Democratic Party (DP) Norbert Mao appointed his party’s special envoy in charge of universities.

Luyiga formerly a member of DP made an alliance with NRM councilors at Kampala City Council in a bid to become the deputy Lord Mayor. His actions politically shifted him from DP to NRM, at least in the eyes of political analysts.

Luyiga even went ahead and acquired police body guards. The people who may have queries’ on this issue (of gun) should ask Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. But Luyiga’s critics have been baffled after Mao appointed him the DP envoy in charge of Universities. Luyiga we hear has already accepted the appointment. Luyiga however denies reports that he crossed to NRM. He says it is only Lukwago’s questionable leadership in Kampala what makes him (Luyiga) to support NRM plots against Lukwago.

The legal advisor of DP Mukasa Mbidde says that the party members suspect that the thugs’ interest was not in stealing the computers but in the information that was stored in the computers. Police investigations into the matter have started and the party suspects that the suspects will be arrested.

One of the computers stolen belonged to the party president, Norbert Mao. Mbidde says that the good information is that the party has a backup of the information that was stolen.

 He says that the stolen information will not cause great impact on the daily management of DP affairs because whatever was stolen is in the party backup system.

Asked whether the party doesn’t have security at the headquarters, Mbidde said the guard could have been asleep or part of the deal. The police have already interrogated the guard, Issa Muwonge and the party has suspended him indefinitely.

There are five candidates in the race but the top leadership of DP has to pick one out of the many.

But Kakande is being pressurized by Uganda Young Democrats to contest.

The issue of EALA elections has divided DP members to an extent that most of them have started fighting and abusing each other. All factions in the race claim that they have a blessing of the party president Norbert Mao. The elections come after the East African Court of Justice ruled that DP and other Uganda opposition parties represented in parliament have a right to have members in East African Parliament (EALA).
