A group of FDC Members of Parliament led by Mubarak Munyagwa (MP Elect Kawempe South) and city councilors led by Muhammad Ssegirinya (Kawempe) and Doreen Nyanjura (Makerere) have announced celebrations on Saturday to counter the function organized for President Museveni to celebrate his victory.
NRM organized a victory party for President Museveni following the ruling by the Supreme Court last week in which Amama Mbabazi’s petition against the February 18 polls was dismissed.
However, the FDC politicians in Kampala told reporters today that they are organizing their own victory party in Kampala to celebrate their achievements in the concluded polls.
“We are trying to counter every activity organized by president Museveni and this time we have also organized a victory party,” Munyagwa told journalists at the 4GC Headquarters at Katonga Road on Friday morning.
“As they are at Kololo, we shall also be celebrating at Nakivubo settlement Primary School.”
Munyagwa told journalists that they expect the FDC candidate in the elections Dr. Kizza Besigye to be the chief guest adding that they have written to police in advance about their celebrations.
He noted that they don’t expect any disturbances from the law enforcement officers because they will be operating within the provisions of the public order management act.
“I don’t think we will be stopped by police when NRM supporters on the other side will be freely enjoying and making processions throughout the city.”
Efforts to reach the police spokesperson Fred Enanga for a comment proved futile because he didn’t pick up when this website called him.
