After elections, there have been suggestions from different fronts both locally and internationally pushing for dialogue between president-elect Yoweri Museveni and National Unity Platform (NUP) principal Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine over the ‘disputed’ elections.
On NRA/M Day that was held last week at State House Entebbe, Museveni commented on the suggestions and seemed okay but insisted he did not need any mediation from other parties as he knows the addresses of all his opponents.
NUP spokesperson Joel Ssenyonyi has also confirmed that the party has received suggestions for talks with Museveni.
“There are people who try to reach out but we have consistently said there is nothing personal between Kyagulanyi and Museveni that they have to iron out. These are matters of the country; so, if there is going to be any kind of talks, it must be by Ugandans and about Uganda,” Ssenyonyi said
He added, “We are not interested in talks with Museveni if the aim is to throw money here and there or positions. Him saying he will drive and meet us wherever we will be, we are not interested in such an arrangement that doesn’t involve all Ugandans.”
