Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) National party mobilizer, Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu and Budadiri west MP, Nandala Mafabi, who between the two is a potentially better choice of leader for FDC members and Ugandans at large?

Let us take note that it is only when someone is campaigning for Class Monitor or Head Prefect in a school that pupils and or students may not ask what s/he has done in order to demonstrate his/her ability to do what he/she is pledging to do for electorates.

 But at the level of a Party President, potential for great leadership must not be explained or spoken about but rather illustrated and demonstrated clearly for everyone to see. In case of FDC, the two candidates in the race to replace Col. Kiiza Besigye as party president, that is Gen. Muntu and MP Nandala Mafabi must explain their capacities, will and dedication to doing what they want to do.

Muntu is good in military affairs, international affairs and mobilization and his records explain this. He has been the FDC National mobilizer and a member of East African parliament for over 10 years and his performance, no question, it has been good.

If it is instilling accountability in the party and discipline on party members, the records of Muntu and Nandala Mafabi speak it out. If it is raising funds for the party, Muntu’s records explain it. Whatever Muntu suggests doing for FDC at the level of party president, his records show it, not words. So how do Muntu and Nandala Mafabi measure against each other in this race of FDC party president?
