The Electoral Commission (EC) offices were stormed by the leadership of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Katonga faction today Monday, demanding registration forms in order to start the process of forming their new party.
This came about as a result of EC’s tardiness in answering the faction’s letter from September 16, 2024, asking to register the People’s Front for Freedom as a new political party.
Acting party president, Mr Erias Lukwago, along with a team of top officials, confronted the EC’s deputy spokesperson, Mr Paul Bukenya, who informed them that the top leaders were unavailable to meet them.
The delegation was left with no option but to leave without their issue being resolved after becoming frustrated with the lack of response from Bukenya when they asked him for a timeframe on when they would be responded to.
Speaking with reporters, Lukwago bemoaned the EC’s protracted failure to deliver the registration forms that are necessary for them to start organizing their party formally.
Bukenya responded by asking the FDC Katonga leadership to hold off until they received an official statement from the Commission.
