Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda politics October 6, 2023

A recent development has seen the Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) Katonga faction lose their legal bid to block the upcoming delegates conference to be held at the Najjanankumbi headquarters scheduled for today.

This verdict follows a thorough legal process and allows the party’s democratic proceedings to continue as planned.

FDC national chairperson Mr Wasswa Birigwa and 27 other ran to the high court seeking to among others block today’s delegates conference organised by the Najjanakumbi faction reasoning that he and other party members( of the Katonga faction ) would lose their positions.

The sole respondent in the matter is Mr Boniface Toterebuka the chairperson of the FDC electro commission whom Birigwa and group say doesn’t have powers to hold the delegates conference and elections.

The court’s ruling chaired by judge Musa Ssekaana signifies a significant setback for the FDC’s Katonga faction, but it also upholds the democratic principles of inclusivity and freedom of assembly within the party.

Despite the faction’s objections, the importance of open dialogue and the right for members to voice their opinions prevailed in the court’s decision.

The delegates conference holds paramount importance for the FDC as it serves as a platform for discussions on pertinent policy matters, leadership elections, and the shaping of the party’s future strategy.

The FDC’s Katonga faction losing their bid to block the Najjanankumbi delegates conference highlights the significance of allowing all party members the opportunity to exercise their democratic rights and participate in the decision-making processes.
