KAMPALA - Dr James Rwanyarare has warned his party president, Dr Milton Obote, against manipulating the party Constitution and the election of new office bearers. Rwanyarare was on the ‘Straight to the Point’ programme of KFM when he fired off the latest salvo in the struggle for the leadership of the Uganda People’s Congress party. “Anyone who wants to be relevant to Uganda politics should be here. The majority who are going to decide the destiny of UPC are not the exiled but the young generation.” Rwanyarare said even if Obote tried to manipulate elections, he would fail. “UPC has an array of leaders who can steer it to victory. UPC is not an individual,” he said. “Nobody should stop anyone from contesting for the top leadership in UPC.” Obote is expected to return to the country on May 27 ahead of the UPC Delegates Conference that will elect new party leaders. Rwanyarare said that Obote has expressed no interest of remaining at the helm of power of UPC. Rwanyarare has become critical since Obote effectively locked him out of the UPC decision-making when he disbanded the PPC and set up a Constitutional Steering Committee (CSC) headed by Badru Wegulo, the party’s national chairman. Rwanyarare and a group of 38 PPC members then accused Obote of not adhering to the UPC constitution by appointing the CSC. Rwanyarare was a guest on the KFM talk show together with UPC’s external bureau chief in London, Mr Joseph Ochieno, and the head of political intelligence in State House, Mr Charles Rwomushana. |
