FDC denies defects to New Formation

Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president Engineer Patrick Oboi Amuriat has dismissed as rumours that some party members have defected to the New Formation.  Amuriat says that FDC has worked hard for 14 years to bring about change in Uganda and it will not allow that effort to laid to waste.  The Nile Post reported last week that at least 63 members of FDC western region had openly declared that they were leaving FDC to join the New Formation. The New Formation is led by former FDC President Major General (rtd) Mugisha Muntu.  But Amuriat insists, “I am not aware of the members and leaders that have left the party and until I’m informed  formally, I will leave it as gossip..  Amuriat says the only members who have formally renounced their membership of FDC are Mugisha Muntu and former deputy party president  for eastern region Alice Alaso.
