A huge cloud of uncertainty hangs over the planned Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) delegates’ conference.
Despite a police directive and High Court order blocking today’s meeting called by the FDC national Chairman Wasswa Birigwa, hundreds of delegates from across the country are already in Kampala to attend the same.
Sources within the party have revealed that delegates began arriving on Sunday evening, despite uncertainty surrounding the conference due to a court injunction that was issued to halt it.
Birigwa warned yesterday that for today’s delegates’ conference, they are ready to crash those planning to disorganize it.
According to High Court Judge Esta Nambayo, the said conference should be stayed until a legal challenge against it taking place is heard and resolved.
The ruling followed a heated court session in which two rival lawyers, each sought to represent the party on the matter.
Kampala Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago, also the party’s vice president for Buganda region, and Moses Tuguma presented themselves as counsel for the party, a claim contested by Julius Galisonga who said he was the instructed lawyer.
By yesterday, about 800 delegates had arrived at different points in Kampala and were getting accredited before being transported to Busaabala, the venue of the said conference.
