As the struggles in the Forum for Democratic Change continue boiling, a lot is yet to come to the former opposition giant in Uganda.
Fault lines are already visible in the Najjanankumbi outfit where a section of party members are accusing the Secretary General Nathan Nandala Mafabi and the party president of having plans to sell the party to NRM like how Akena did to UPC, Mao did to DP.
These content that Nandala Mafabi and party president Patrick Oboi Amuriat (POA) in the days preceding to the 2021 general elections received billions of money whose source they’ve never revealed but according to Ssemuju and his colleagues, this money came from president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as a package to weaken the former opposition party.
FDC faction led by party spokesperson Ibrahim Ssemuju Nganda, new comer Lord mayor Elias Lukwago, Francis Mwijukye, Mubarak Munyagwa among others forcefully convened a party’s consultative meeting which had been stopped by the top bosses. These met at Nsambya Sharing hall to address issues of in fighting, divisions, dishonesty among others which they say will force the party to extinction.
It’s said this faction that met at Sharing Hall Nsambya are the one’s who believe in Dr Kiiza Besigye as the God father who thinks the party is not being run on the path it’s supposed to take.
This comes at the back drop of failed party structural elections which they say can’t proceed when the party is in divisions, no party voter’s register among others issues which they accuse Nandala of failing to address together with the party president Patrick Oboi Amuriat.

Now they want the party Spokesperson Ssemuju who convened a meeting of party members to apologize and even resign from his position or face the consequences. These accuse Ssemuju of staging an illegal assembly which is against their party constitution.

The FDC has faced several storms and this too might leave the party with fractures just like it happened in 2017 when former party president Mugisha Muntu left with several party leaders like Alice Alaso, Robert Centenary, Winnie Kiiza among others and formed his own party Alliance for National Transformation (ANT).
While leaving FDC, Muntu said he was accused of being a mole but time would tell who the real moles are and few years down the road, they’re in arms under confusion to strangle the party to death.
