Mugisha wants to replace Col. Kiiza Besigye as the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president general. There are two people who want to replace Besigye as FDC president. They are opposition leader Nandala Mafabi and Gen. Mugisha Muntu.

Mugisha Muntu told FDC delegates from Ntungamo who met him at FDC head offices in Kampala that he excelled in his duties as an Army Commander of Uganda’s armed forces and he was behind the professionalization of the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces.

He says many soldiers in the UPDF salute him wherever they find him because he professionalised their army. Muntu urges the members of FDC to support his candidature saying that he wants to promote FDC the way he promoted Uganda’s army.
