Forum for democratic Change is refuting claims that it’s to withdraw its Entebbe Municipality By-Elections candidate Wilberforce Sseryazi in support of DP’s Muhammed Kawuma.

Media Reports last week reported that FDC had agreed with DP to field one candidate to defeat NRM’s Patience Mubanguzi.

Addressing a press briefing at party offices in Najjanankumbi, FDC deputy publicity Totelebuka Bamwenda says the party has never received any formal communication or meting with DP on issues regarding the coming Entebbe by-election. He insists their candidate Wilberforce Sseryazi is still contesting in this election.

However, Bamwenda says chances are still on for the talks if any party wants FDC to withdraw its candidate.

Meanwhile, DP’s Muhammed Kawuma told journalists at DP offices last week that his party had already talked to FDC to withdraw its candidate because he is not popular in the area.

In a related development, Bamwenda called on all political parties to desist from the idea that there regions where a given political party is popular so that its candidates cannot be opposed.
