KAMPALA Lord mayor and tentative leader of PFF Erias Lukwago has hit back at Patrick Oboi Amuriat’s FDC_ Najjanankumbi saying it’s as good as an abandoned graveyard.

” For us FDC Najjanankumbi is working with president Museveni so it’s no longer a party fighting for change and democracy. It’s like an abandoned graveyard which needs clearing” said Lukwago.

Lukwago was firing back at Amuriat who blamed Lukwago for sidelining them in the fight for democratic freedoms.

In a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, Amuriat revealed that the party was not invited to key opposition engagements, by Lukwago’s group accusing organizers of seeking to isolate the FDC from the broader opposition movement.

“FDC weren’t invited. Clearly, we are the unwanted opposition group in pursuit of freedom. No matter what, we will move on by ourselves,” Amuriat stated.

Amuriat also distanced the party from Erias Lukwago, Kampala Lord Mayor, noting that Lukwago does not represent the party in its political strategy.
Lukwago had allegedly signed for FDC in such it’s absence which surprised Amuriat saying he doesn’t represent them.

During Monday meeting, opposition leaders convened at Parliament and issued a joint statement condemning the duo’s abduction from Kenya on November 16 and their subsequent trial in Uganda’s General Court Martial.

“The General Court Martial cannot offer a free and fair trial. Its processes are fundamentally biased and contravene Uganda’s Constitutional Court rulings prohibiting the trial of civilians in military courts,” the statement read.

The joint statement, signed by representatives from the National Unity Platform (NUP), People’s Progressive Party (PPP), and Justice Forum (JEEMA), among others, demanded justice for Besigye and Kamulegeya.
