Betty Nambooze: Opposition Parties Can't Unite

Opposition Parties Can’t Unite – Betty Nambooze

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news February 2, 2022

Hon. Betty Nambooze has said there is no way opposition parties can unite. She said this while at the Barometer show on NBS.

According to her, opposition should just find things that they can jointly do together because the uniting is not possible.

“All opposition parties can’t be united. It is just like Christians; they are only united in insulting Satan.
It is a mistake to continue repeating the mistakes. Let us give ourselves time to look into the things we can jointly do together,” Nambooze.

She says the opposition can’t unite because it’s about who takes the credit rather than getting together.

“Betty Nambooze says the problem in the opposition is about who takes the credit. That is why they can’t unite. We should ask ourselves, where do we want to go as a nation? NUP and FDC are the same; they are all fighting for the same cause. The only problem is that they have a different Mugabe (leader).”

Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, didn’t differ so much from this. He says much as they seem disunited as the opposition, they have the struggle that brings them together.

“Let us separate politics from the struggle. I don’t have anything against Nabilah for contesting against me. There is a struggle that unites us.”

With the way this ngs are moving, the unity of the opposition is a myth. It is something close to impossible after all the trials that have been made.

In 2016, opposition attempted to have one candidate for presidency but this was frustrated by disunity. Perhaps the agendas of these parties are too great to come together.
