Besigye Produce New Presidential Campaign Posters for 2021 Race

Kiza Besigye's posters

 There is confusion over the emergence of campaign posters of a four-time presidential candidate, Dr Kizza Besigye in Kampala, days after local media reported that  had given up his hopes for the presidency.

Our source recently confirmed that Besigye was not going to stand again because he believes that elections in Uganda are a process in futility.

He noted that FDC bigwigs such as the party President Patrick Amuriat Oboi, party chairman Wasswa Biriggwa, mobilizing secretary, Ingrid Turinawe, former Leader of Opposition Wafula Oguttu, and Buganda Region Vice President Joyce Ssebugwawo, among others, have failed to convince Besigye  to consider a fifth run for the presidency.

“He has no trust in the electoral process; he believes that the results are always predetermined in favour of President Museveni. So it doesn’t matter how much FDC will beg, he will not be standing in the next election,” a source revealed.


Over the weekend, posters of Besigye were pinned at Najjanankumbi indicating that he could contest for the presidency once again. But John Kikonyogo,  the FDC deputy spokesperson said those who want to know whether Besigye will be contesting should wait for just a little longer.

Picking of nomination forms will kick off tomorrow at the party headquarters and end on Wednesday when Besigye is expected to address the country and end the guessing about his candidature.

A fortnight ago, Amuriat told an FDC meeting in Gulu that if Besigye accepts to hold the flag of the party in the coming elections, there will be no primaries. However the party spokesperson Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda immediately contradicted him saying that no position in the FDC is ring-fenced for anyone.

Ssemujju said Amuriat was just expressing his personal opinion on the subject which did not represent the party. For the last three elections, Besigye has competed with Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu for the FDC flag.

However, after the 2017 party election in which Muntu lost the FDC presidency, he broke ranks with the party and formed his own Alliance for National Transformation.
