Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba, Democratic Front (DF) party President, urged Ugandans to reject divisive politics as the country prepares for the next general election, stressing that unity is essential for achieving a successful political transition.
Speaking at the launch of his campaigns, Mpuuga observed that, despite their divergent political opinions, all change-seeking forces have a duty to complement each other.
He called upon the voters to lead the charge of tasking leaders of change-seeking forces to stop the habit of blackmailing and hurling insults against each other. a
He said that the struggle for change in power ought to supersede the individual interests and misunderstandings between a few opposition politicians. He tasked them to question the conduct of their leaders.
Mpuuga further requested the voters to give audience to all opposition politicians seeking their support, and be candid enough to challenge them on their commitment to the preferred political transition.
Mpuuga observes that the altercations among change-seeking forces in the country are a betrayal of the sacrifices and expectations of the departed great men and women who fought for a better Uganda.
He told voters in Masaka City that despite the bitter fallout and resultant scornful statements against his personality, he does not begrudge the National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, alias Bobi Wine, indicating that he is only concerned if he appreciates the responsibility that was bestowed upon him as leader of the opposition front.
Michael Kakembo Mbwatekamwa, the Member of Parliament for Entebe Municipality, used the campaign platform in Masaka to challenge the electorate in Buganda to be highly cautious about the choice of leaders they make in the next general elections. He warns the region that the risks missing out on key decision-making and governance aspects if it elects leaders who cannot measure up to the quality and competence of their counterparts from other regions of the country.
Meanwhile, Doctor Abed Bwanika, the Member of Parliament for Kimanya-Kabonera division, took time off to lash out at Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze, accusing blackmailing the Democratic Front and its leadership as accomplices of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and serving President Yoweri Museveni’s agenda.
While campaigning for Gyavira Lubowa Ssebina, the NUP parliamentary candidate for Nhyendo-Mukungwe on Wednesday, Nambooze described the Democratic Front (DF) as a disruptive, deceitful force and that their focus is to preserve President Museveni’s regime and pass on state power to his son Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
However, Bwanika labelled Nambooze one of the most incoherent politicians, thereby urging voters to always listen to her with a lot of suspicion.
