The Katonga based former FDC faction has today, 27th August, 2024 submitted to the Electoral Commission its new Political Party name and symbols.
Led by Ingrid Turinawe, the FDC break-away members presented People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) as its name with a phone as the Party’s symbol.
Departing from the FDC Slogan of ‘One People, One Uganda,’ the PFF says their rallying slogan is ‘Freedom for All and All for Freedom.’
The new party, with 12 promoters, has selected royal blue and white as its colours.
This follows alleged dissolvement of the FDC Party in a letter written by Ambassador Birigwa on 26th August, 2024.
Speaking after handing over the application to the Electoral Commission, one of the PFF promoters told the media that they now await the EC to do their part before they embark on a nationwide collection of the required signatures for the formalization of the Party.
Meanwhile, the FDC Najanakumbi says Bigirwa’s letter is null and void.
FDC STATEMENT
We have seen the document purportedly written by our former Chairman, Amb. Waswa Biriggwa, and would like to clarify that neither he nor his group has the authority to dissolve the Forum for Democratic Change. According to Article 36 of the Party Constitution, the only legitimate body authorized to engage or transact any business on behalf of the party is the leadership at Najjanankumbi, under the stewardship of Chairman Hon. Jack Sabiiti. We, therefore, urge the public to ignore this fake and unauthentic document, and its contents should be treated with the contempt they deserve.
In the meantime, the party continues with its mobilization activities across the country.
