Abooki Nyakato

Nyakato who has been involved in an all women demonstrations aimed at disbanding the Uganda Electoral Commission (EC) to prepare ground for a free and fair 2011 elections says delay in delivery of justice derails their activities.

In a media statement seen by Ultimate Media, Nyakato says Uganda Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) deliberately keeps on requesting courts to extend their hearings top distract them from carrying out their political activities.

The Uganda IPC women activists who are popularly known for breaking the security detail and entering the EC headquarters in Kampala early this year accuse the Uganda EC headed by Eng. Badru Kiggundu for being biased in favor of the ruling NRM party are in court facing charges related to holding illegal demonstrations.

Nyakato says IPC Women league will continue holding peaceful demonstrations to demand for the disbandment of the EC and for the enactment of better electoral laws despite continued government threats and intimidations.

In his state of union address, Uganda president Yoweri Museveni indicated that the government will not heed to Uganda opposition calls to disband the Uganda current Electoral Commission.

DP leader - Nobert Mao

At a conference at Christ the King Church in Kampala attended by the former Buganda Kingdom Prime Minister Mulwanya Semogerere who recently joined the opposition Forum for Democratic Change, Lulume said the Uganda opposition needs a united force to fight a corrupt and dictatorial government of president Museveni.

He says, there are many advantages to a united opposition citing the recent election of Betty Nambooze for the Mukono North by-elections as a result of combined efforts of the opposition under the IPC opposition umbrella organization.

The main stream Democratic Party headed by Nobert Mao resolved in May 2010 not to join the IPC, arguing that the alliance will weaken Uganda opposition.

Bayiga who is the secretary general of the faction says, the DP faction will continue to reconcile with the mainstream DP.   

This comes as a blessing to the Uganda opposition which is currently pushing for electoral reforms and the discardment of the current Electoral Commission leadership headed by Badru Kiggundu so as to ensure a free and fair 2011 Uganda general elections.
