Our struggle is beyond Museveni - DP

MASAKA- The Democratic Party has said they will not give-up on their pursuits to assume State power.

Speaking at a thanksgiving ceremony for Katwe-Butego Division chairperson Denis Majwala at the weekend, DP national vice president, Mr Fred Mukasa Mbidde said despite their internal differences, they are the only party that can dislodge President Museveni’s government.

“…we are committed to sustain our struggle even after the imminent fall of Mr Museveni and the NRM, until we deliver better leadership for Ugandans,” he said.

In the recently concluded elections, DP candidates dominated majority local councils and parliamentary seats in the Masaka sub-region after they defeated NRM members who occupied majority seats in the previous councils.

Mr Mbidde told the gathering that upon taking local council positions, the party will closely monitor the newly elected leaders to ensure that they offer exemplary leadership for purposes of winning and preserving public trust.

Mr Mathias Mpuuga, the Masaka Municipality MP, cautioned DP leaders in local council positions to desist from any form of corruption and arrogance that would have adverse effects on the party.
