whoever plotted the FDC primaries for 2012 might have been a genius. From our understanding November 2012 is different from February 2016 in the FDC ranks.
November 12th (date for FDC election of a person to replace Col. Kiiza Besigye as party president) is about who does the lead work in FDC between now and 2016. In fact all the three candidates may not even be picked for the FDC party race in 2016. And woe unto the one that gets picked now, but fails to perform and wants to make a shot at 2016, they will not even have a chance.
The winner of the FDC primaries will have the unenviable task of building a strong party into a winning party. He (they are all men: Leader of opposition in Uganda parliament Nandala Mafabi, Tororo MP Geoffrey Ekanya and Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu) will have the duty of steering the FDC boat through shark infested waters and you know what I mean.
His followers are many but the poorer type who is only rich in the clarity of how they want to be governed. Others have different interests ranging from posturing for 2016 Parliamentary seats, to getting jobs that are none existent.
It is a real tall order and is like requiring a person to build a tower in a swamp without the proper tools. Guys there little to eat and more to do just in case you were not aware.
