Problems for Mayor Lukwago as records prove he is not a Reg. Member in FDC, Amuriat tasks him to produce his ticket.

 

While speaking to journalists today, 30th, October 2023 at the Najjanankumbi FDC head offices, the party president, Patrick Amuriat tasked Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago to produce his FDC Party ticket than masquerading.  

Amuriat said that they've cross checked in all registers at the party headquarters but they cant spot Lukwago's name anywhere.

the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) also  terminated its relationship with the former party president Dr. Kizza Besigye’s led people’s Government that sits at Katonga Road Kampala.

People’s Government is a pressure group that was formed by Dr.Kizza Besigye working closely with FDC as a defiance measure after losing the 2016 presidential elections.

Amuriat said some members of the FDC have chosen to adopt a hostile stance against their own party in complete contravention of article 12 of the party constitution and they continue to posture as legitimate leaders of the party. He thus warned all those posturing as FDC legitimate leaders to stop using FDC headed papers ,use of party symbols, slogans and colors since they are doing it illegally and  they are prepared to take disciplinary action through a well constituted committee on discipline against errant members thus urging them to cease presenting themselves as FDC leaders.

He called upon FDC members to shun such individuals who chose to masquerade as interim or factional leaders in order to cause a split in the party for their own selfish interest since they will not tolerate divided loyalty by any member.

Amuriat emphasized that in FDC there are no divisions contrary to how it has been portrayed in the media such as katonga faction or Najjanankumbi faction since there is only one legitimate FDC.

However, in keeping with the guiding principles in the party constitution chapter 8 (e) that relates to peaceful resolution of conflict they continue to extend an olive branch to FDC members that are posturing as leaders though its only limited to only those holding corporate or life membership cards and those with update membership which will be done on grounds of mutual respect, honest with no insults.

Amuriat further explained that those FDC members whose  membership expires every year and have not renewed it by registering in the village registers can only be supporters and sympathizers and not members which gives them liberty to decide whether they want to regain membership of the party or not.
