Uganda's opposition groups have Wednesday signed a document that allows
them to operate under a form of alliance to remove President Museveni from
power in the 2016 elections before instituting a transitional
government, *Chimp
Corps* report.
Under the title The Democratic Alliance (TDA), the opposition, save Uganda
People's Congress (UPC), agreed to join hands with some Civil Society
agencies and religious groups to ensure the upcoming polls are free and
fair.
Otunnu, whose UPC has lately been struggling with power struggles, said he
could not sign the alliance's resolutions until he obtains mandate from the
party's national council.
The signing ceremony took place at Orange Hall, Hotel Africana in Kampala.
JEEMA president Asuman Basalirwa said the new alliance's leaders met at a
hotel in Entebbe where they held talks for at least two months before
resolving to form a partnership that would pressure government to adopt the
proposed electoral reforms and also plan for the post-Museveni era.
Basalirwa explained that, "The entire country is demanding political
reforms for free and fair elections. Museveni's government has remained
reluctant to ensure free and fair elections. We started the campaign in
2011 but the government came out at the last minute to stampede Parliament."
He further stated that "due to the arrogance of the current regime that has
reached the tipping point,"the opposition decided to improve its
organisation ability to win power by forming the Democratic Alliance.
He said the objectives include realising free and fair elections and
fielding joint candidates for all electoral positions in Uganda.
*Flag-bearer*
On the contentious issue of the joint opposition flag-bearer in the 2016
elections, Basalirwa said the alliance is yet to field a single candidate.
Basalirwa elaborated that upon winning power, a "transition government of
national unity shall be formed to rule for five years. During the
transitional period, laws shall be amended to allow electoral reforms."
He said all MPs appointed to ministerial positions shall automatically
resign their positions.
The transitional government shall strictly have 21 cabinet ministers.
According to Basalirwa, the transitional government shall forward the
alliance's proposals to the post 2016 Parliament for endorsement.
Opposition leaders later signed a document declaring their allegiance to
the new alliance's prnciples.
They included FDC's Mugisha Muntu, Basalirwa, former Vice President Prof
Gilbert Bukenya, Olara Otunnu, Beti Kamya, Zac Niringiye and Godber
Tumushabe among others.
Former Agriculture Minister, Hope Mwesige also graced the occasion. She
created the impression that she was representing former Prime Minister
Amama Mbabazi at the function.
Asked to explain whether Mbabazi was supportive of the alliance, Niringiye
responded: "We have been in contact with Mbabazi. We spoke to him again
this morning and he said he is ready and willing to move on with us."
He did not explain Mbabazi's absence at the function before censuring
questions on the presidential hopeful.
Former FDC President Dr Kizza Besigye and dozens of opposition activists
also graced the function.
This is the second time the opposition is trying out an alliance to defeat
President Museveni in national elections.
In 2011, the Inter Party Cooperation crumbled over suspicion and tribalism.
But DP National Chairman, Mohammed Kezaala said, "In the past we didn't
know much about ourselves that much. From 2011, we have been in talks and
we understand each other very well."
Olara Otunnu said UPC will soon convene a National Council with the view of
endorsing the new arrangement.
