Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) is planning to replace its leader Col. Kiiza Besigye in July this year. Besigye has been in the political rhyme of FDC for over eight years.

The leadership of FDC has already drawn a roadmap for choosing a person to replace Kiiza Besigye. Besigye announced that he was set to leave the post after three unsuccessful runs for President of Uganda.

The FDC secretary general, Alice Alaso, recently presented the roadmap for transitioning from Besigye to a new FDC leader perhaps Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu or opposition leader Nandala Mafabi to two of FDC’s top organs- the management committee and the National Executive Committee.

The two committees have a duty to adopt the roadmap. Alaso says that the dates for a meeting to replace Besigye are not yet known.
