Uganda’s Electoral Commission has finally issued a registration certificate to Gen. Mugisha Muntu’s new political party, Alliance for National Transformation (ANT).
The certificate, which our reporter has seen genuinely signed by EC’s Sam Rwakojo, is dated April 25, 2019. Rwakoojo says the certificate was issued in accordance with the provisions of the Political Parties and Organizations Act Regulations.
Muntu quit Uganda’s biggest opposition party the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in September last year citing irreconcilable strategic disagreements between him and the party leadership on how to bring about regime change in Uganda.
On September 27, 2018, he unveiled The New Formation which has been a platform and name for his pressure group for recruiting followers, as he conducted nation-wide consultations for the new party that has now been fully registered.
During consultations in Tooro region in December last year, his supporters advised him to take the campaign of building his party structures outside Kampala so as to win more souls into his party. He agreed with them, saying that all that would be possible once the party is officially registered.
With Alliance for National Transformation Party fully registered the next step will be the launching, which has been set for next month at a date that is yet to be announced. According to the Electoral Commission’s website, there are now 30 registered political parties in Uganda. For comments, call or text us on 0752510225.
