{UAH} Gen Muntu breakaway: Where FDC MPs stand

Will Muntunyera be frustrated by the fightback if the rump FDC denies him and his new party the coveted postion of Leader of Opposition in the paper tiger parliament? The magic number here is 20 Mpigs,plus support from the  DP, UPC and independents.- something achievable if he bribes them with posts in the shadow cabinett. Remember these cabinet positions, although they carrry no responsibility, come with a lot of kudos and perks, almost double waht they get as an Mpig. There  are very few Ugandans who will sneer at such largesse on a point of principle if throw at them.

Kampala. A quick survey of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party MPs on where they stand in light of Gen Mugisha Muntu's announcement that he has left the party shows a big number of them will stay put. 
The former party leader was backed by the majority of the MPs in his failed bid to keep the party presidency against eventual winner Patrick Amuriat Oboi, but some of the MPs who supported him, most notably party spokesperson Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, now say they will not join his new party.
In a quick survey carried by Saturday Monitor, 17 out of the 20 MPs surveyed say they will stay in FDC, two are undecided and only one, former Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Winnie Kiiza, saying she backs Gen Muntu. 
FDC has a total of 38 MPs. 
We were unable to reach the rest of the FDC legislators for this survey, although some of them could back Gen Muntu. 
Soroti Woman MP Angelina Ossegge and Jinja Municipality MP Paul Mwiru, for instance, attended Gen Muntu's press conference on Thursday, but we were not able to reach them to state their stand for purposes of this survey.
