FDC presidential flag bearer Kiiza Besigye kicked off his campaigns in his hometown of Rukungiri and just like his nomination day rally in Kampala last week, the retired colonel drew a mammoth crowd and he was overwhelmed by the home support.
“To the people of Rukungiri, inclusive of supporters of various political parties, I would like to extend my heart felt gratitude for the overwhelming turn up and the material support you have accorded to my candidature today,” Besigye said on his social media channels after the rally.
“The spirit shown in Rukungiri, I believe will be the catalyst of the liberation of the entire country. The wave you have began will be unstoppable, from here on ‘as we move, many people will join us, we shall assign them duties and we shall build a force to break all the obstacles before us’.”
