Has the Olara Otunnu side shown civility? Well I guess they have but again they
have been in power and I am very busy tonight, reading the report card of their
achievement. This discussion is very good because it is held by UPC members
about UPC new leadership Vs UPC the old leadership.
As I said all along UPC is a dead party, and let me go on record tonight, I
will not back Jimmy Akena’s leadership and I will explain my reasoning with
time.

This group knows no civility; they are a bunch of hooligans and ruffians
totally averse to any modicum of reasoning.

Edward,
I am tongue-tied; when will these people learn a bit of civility? After getting
such wide support and assurance of leadership, can't they hold their excitement
for just a short while? May be it was a mistake to disregard the party
constitution in allowing Akena to register after the dead line for
nomination/registration had passed.
What example are those people showing the rest of Ugandans, that force is the
best alternative to reason? What will happen when Akena's term comes to an end
or that is it, no end till death?
I wish Hon. Akena and team success as they transverse the country.

WBK:
Otunnu's critics have all along, accused him of "holding UPC" hostage, due to
some perceived inaction. Under the incoming administration, UPC will be laid to
rest, and buried next to its founder, Apollo Milton Obote.
This hooliganism, which the Akena group had meted out on Otunnu throughout his
tenure, is actually their only calling cards: they have no leadership stuff
there.

Mr. Nsubuga:
Old habits die hard. Why could not UPC delegates let the electoral process work
its way to its logical conclusion> Why force the EC to declare a winner? And
why attack Mr. Otunnu? I thought delegates were elected to go to the national
delegates conference to pick leaders? Or did UPC make it clear that whoever
got the majority of delegates would be declared president immediately?
I have said it over and over that political parties cannot give Uganda
democracy if the parties themselves do not practice democracy. I mean if the
stakes can be that high over really nothing significant politically, what if
the stakes were about something higher for Uganda?

Chaos broke out this Friday afternoon at the opposition Uganda People’s
Congress Headquarters in Kampala, where the outgoing party President Dr Olara
Otunnu was accosted by supporters of the in-coming Hon Jimmy Akena.
Akena was last week voted UPC President by party delegates across the country
amidst contestation of reported irregularities.
His supporters gathered at the party headquarters on Monday evening and forced
the party electoral commission to declare him the winner.
The commissioners’ pleas to wait for the full confirmed results from all
districts across the country fell on the supporters’ deaf ear.
Some UPC members including outgoing president Olara Otunnu were agitated by
these irregularities that marred the whole process, and called for action.
Otunnu reportedly called for establishment of a review board to assess and
possibly overturn the Monday election results.
This however did not go down well with Mr Akena’s supporters and the currently
boiling turmoil was born.
Today Friday afternoon, this group mobilized and invaded Uganda House and
together with some administrators thereat, tried to assault Dr Otunnu in his
office.
Amidst wild chants, they locked him inside his office and dared him to step
out. Our reporter tells us, Dr Otunnu was minutes later helped by thy
sympathizers to escape though the side of the toilets.
Otunnu declared last month that he did not intend to stand again as UPC
president, and that he would serve until the end of his term.
However with the growing tension, some of Mr Akena’s supporters want him to
resign now and hand over to the new president elect, who is also son to the
party’s founding father Dr Milton Obote, something that is against the party
constitution.
