Dr. Kizza Besigye at a rally

Former FDC boss Kizza Besigye says he was not pressured to become a party candidate for the race of flag bearer for the 2016 presidential race and thanks all party members who did their best to have him nominated. While addressing the press this morning in Kampala, Besigye also accused police of acting as regime agents vowing that will have to face both local and global laws.

Besigye said this following the shooting of his supporters as they were going for his nomination and confirms that the victim one Baale has been discharged.

He also clarified on his candidature following numerous questions from various sections of the public who accuse Besigye of being politically dishonest and challenged those who raise such reports to come up with evidence against him.

He further says that he vehemently rejects the polls without electoral reforms saying this renders the exercise useless.
