 The secretary generals of opposition parties such as DP, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Jeema, Conservative Party and Uganda Peoples’ Congress (UPC) have called for applications from suitably qualified members with intent to vie for the above positions as candidates. The Secretary General of DP, Mathias Nsubuga says that the position will go for the same qualifications as those of Uganda MPs.

Nsubuga says that his party DP needs to demonstrate and protect its track record of success in as far as brain power representation is concerned. Candidates require excellent verbal communication skills together with the determination to succeed in a competitive scrutiny before the parliament ofUganda.

Some of the candidates vying for the post on DP ticket are Mukasa Fred Denis Mbidde, Deo Kijjambu, John Mary Sebuwufu, Kenneth Paul Kakande, Anselm Sebuguzi and Xervia  Katabarwa.

However DP is more likely to nominate Mukasa Mbidde as its representative in EALA because he was the one who single handedly asked the East African court of justice to allow opposition parties represented inUgandaparliament to send representatives in EALA.
