Yesterday, Gen Mugisha Muntu launched a new political establishment, ‘New Formation’ much to the displeasure of his former Forum for Democratic Change colleagues. Speaking on NBS TV Frontline, government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo stated that the Members of Parliament backing Muntu cannot do much to make the new party a force to reckon with.
Ofwono stated that the MPs lost appeal and voters have no belief in them.
“He had like 29 MPs and he thought they would deliver for him the FDC vote but that never happened. The delegates elected Amuriat,” Opondo said.
Ofwono challenged the MPs backing Muntu to demonstrate their resentment towards FDC by quitting and opting for by-elections. He described them as opportunists and stated that the NRM will infiltrate and disorganise them till they face a similar crisis as FDC.
