Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has Monday issued a roadmap for the election of the party’s new president as the term of the current president Gen. Mugisha Muntu winds up.
Muntu became FDC party president on November 22 2012 after defeating two rivals in the race; Nandala Mafabi and Geoffrey Ekanya with 50.6% of the vote, at a Delegates Conference in Namboole.
The FDC Deputy Secretary General, Harold Kaija told the media today that the party is now ready to conduct elections for the new president. A roadmap to be followed for this exercise came out today.
Kaija said that registration and picking of nominations by whoever is interested in leading the party will be on July 10 to August 12, 2017.
“Nomination of Party President will be on August 14 to 15, 2017. Open campaign will take place from August 17 to 31,” Kaija said.
Kaija noted that the party shall hold its Delegates Conference on November 2, in which they will have the new party president elected.
“The swearing in ceremony of the newly elected president will be held on the 3rd November. So those interested to lead the party should come out and pick nominations.
“We implore them to get interested in the process and start talking to delegates, do all preparations because we want people with good ideas to come and lead the party,” he added.
