SV: {UAH} Pojim/WBK: 2016: UPC opts out of opposition alliance TDA
JOHN,
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY SO? ISN'T IT ALL HERE AS BELOW QUOTES?
My wonder is if the UPC is muscle enough to go into dialogue from that position?!
Well, we all know that one does not go into dialogue or negotiation lying flat down. Even a crawl dog barks to scare Hell
out of by-passers. And in the battlefield of psychological warfare, there may pop up reason for benefit of the doubts.
Still, I would completely fully gard this:
"..........329 delegates voted that they would only associate with the alliance at the presidential level on conditions that Jimmy Akena is considered the choice for the joint presidential candidate of TDA.............."
".........The delegates said if TDA ignores to have Akena as a joint opposition candidate, then they have nothing to do with the alliance............"
Noc'la gaumoy
"WE FORM THE CULTURE THAT FORMS US"….noc'la gaumoy.

they had nothing to bring on the table anyway. and museveni pad for them so, how could they betray him. AKENA will stand for president independently just to legitimise the dictator. museveni knows there might be a boycott.he has his plan B in place and AKENA will be funded to stand against him. UPC is party waiting for last funeral rites.

UPC president Jimmy Akena
Delegates of the Uganda Peoples' Congress (UPC) National Council have unanimously resolved to quit The Democratic Alliance (TDA) protocol that was signed by the deposed party president Olara Otunnu saying it's intention is to weaken the party grassroots.
The decision was reached at by the delegates this morning at Jokas Hotel in Bweyogerere, the last day of the first national council that the party has had in the last five years.
359 delegates voted by the show of hands for the party to withdraw from the protocol of TDA against 2 delegates who voted for the party to remain in the alliance.
On Friday, controversially-elected UPC President, Jimmy Akena told delegates that, he had reservations about fully engaging with TDA and instead urged the national council – the parliament of the party, to concentrate on building party structures, that, he alleged Otunnu's leadership weakened.
Maxwell Akora the National Secretary of UPC says they were not consulted as the parliament of the party before the disposed party president, Otunnu decided to assent to the Democratic Alliance Protocol.
"We were not consulted for five years. This programme has been developed over five years. Yes, there were individuals from the party that went there, but the feelings of the party from the grassroots is; whose feelings you represent; is that were not presented at the TDA discussions.We know that our leadership has not been warmly welcomed within the TDA because Olara's camp people are in those meetings. We don't know how seriously they are taking our leadership. They have not denounced the other side. If what is in the protocol damages UPC, a party that has been in the wilderness for 30 years. A party that wants to go back to the grassroots and rebuild and TDA is an obstacle in our path", Akora said.
329 delegates voted that they would only associate with the alliance at the presidential level on conditions that Jimmy Akena is considered the choice for the joint presidential candidate of TDA.
The delegates said if TDA ignores to have Akena as a joint opposition candidate, then they have nothing to do with the alliance.2016: UPC opts out of opposition alliance TDASent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
