{UAH} UDU and UPC have agreed to work together

Press release

During his current visit to the United States of America, the President of UPC Ambassador Olara A. Otunnu and Secretary General of UDU Eric Kashambuzi met twice in New York and discussed a wide range of issues regarding the deteriorating situation in Uganda and the draconian methods being used by NRM to cling to power.

I am pleased to announce that UDU and UPC have agreed to work together on themes of common interest, believing that two heads are better than one. For a start, we shall coordinate our activities on the electoral system with a focus on an independent electoral commission and standardization of campaign finance in order to level the playing field.

As soon as arrangements have been finalized, Ambassador Olara Otunnu will appear on the English program of Radio Munansi and address Ugandans on this working arrangement between UDU and UPC.

As you know, UDU and FDC have worked together since the founding of UDU in 2011. We have benefited tremendously from collaboration with Dr. Kiiza Besigye who continues to be active in Uganda politics and we shall continue to do so under the new leadership.

UDU has also had contacts with the President-General of DP, Nobert Mao and look forward to formalizing our working relationship in the near future.

Uganda has hit the bottom in all areas of human endeavor and is now described as a failed state. It will therefore require the efforts of all Ugandans at home and abroad including patriotic members of NRM to pull it out of the deep political, economic, social and environmental hole.

For God and My Country

Eric Kashambuzi

Secretary General, UDU
