Political understanding between Ssuubi and Inter-Party Cooperation (IPC) is becoming more confusing by the day.
Basing on current news stories, some groups within IPC are not connected at all. Take, for example, the story in the newspapers on January 14, 2011 in which it was reported that Social Democratic Party’s Michael Mabikke refused to hand over to Ssuubi.
It was later reported on January 18, 2011 that Mabikke had handed over to Conservative Party’s John Ken Lukyamuzi.
IPC and Ssuubi have not only exhibited disagreements between them but have also put forward differing positions like on issues related to the Electoral Commission. This shows how un-serious these two groups, which I was ounce proud of, are. It now seems that the public is looking at our party as being incapable.
I believe from the way things are now moving in IPC, my party is likely to collapse without achieving its intended objectives of coming together to dislodge the current ruling party.
As a concerned member of the party who wants to see the party winning come February and achieve its main aim, I would like to advise the heads of IPC to call for unity and start focusing on how to win rather than arguing against and fighting fellow political brothers-in-arms as is now the case with Mabikke and Lukwago.
