More delegates from the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) are scheduled to arrive today at the party’s headquarters in Najjanankumbi in preparation for the National Executive Committee (NEC) leadership elections expected to take place tomorrow in Kampala.
Tomorrow’s NEC elections will involve over 1,400 party delegates representing more than 125 districts where the party conducted grassroots elections.
John Kigonyogo, the deputy party spokesperson confirms that while some delegates arrived yesterday, majority are expected today for accreditation.
Tomorrow’s elections will see 35 positions including party president and deputies, the national chairman and deputies, secretary general, treasurer general, among others.
This development however comes on the heels of a court petition seeking to block tomorrow’s conference and related activities.
The FDC national chairperson Wasswa Birigwa ran to court, arguing that if allowed to proceed, he and other members of the Katonga faction would lose their party positions.
