I can’t start party out of emotions - Muntu
KAMPALA. Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party president Mugisha Muntu has said he cannot form a political party after losing the party presidency.
Speaking during a consultative meeting in Kasese District at the weekend, Gen Muntu told supporters, who had asked him to clarify on reports that he wants to form a party, that if parties were to be formed out of emotions, then his team would have formed one when he lost the FDC presidency to Mr Patrick Oboi Amuriat in December last year.

“I keep telling colleagues that we cannot just form a party out of emotions. If we would start a party out of emotions, we would have done that when we got out of Namboole. We had just come out of an election where there was a lot of fighting, anger [and] all kinds of things,” Gen Muntu told FDC leaders and supporters at the Kasese Catholic Social Services Hall.
Gen Muntu, who is on countrywide consultations since losing the hotly contested party elections, said much as forming a party may be one of the options in ensuring that President Museveni is kicked out of power, it can only be when there is no any other option in FDC.
