With the opposition stronghold camps in closed door meetings trying to find a sole candidate to stand against President Yoweri Museveni in the 2021 Presidential election, Kasese District Woman Member of Parliament Winnie Kiiza has expressed her willingness to take up the Presidential race mantle.

Speaking during an interview on BBS Terefayina, Kiiza said the opposition has a lot of competent leaders to stand against Museveni and she is one of them. But she asserted that the people of Uganda must have an influence if she is to stand.

“If people of Uganda want me, I am ready to stand to be President,” Kiiza said.

Even so, Kiizza said the opposition must quickly come to terms and get a joint candidate because if they don’t, the outcome of the 2021 elections will be in favour of incumbent President Museveni.

The former Leader of Opposition said the differences in the opposition must be resolved to be able to make the dream of regime change possible.
