Former presidential candidate in the 2016 elections who ran on an independent ticket Mr. Elton Joseph Mabirizi has said he has been moving around the country doing some ground work and ready to come back in 2021 with more energy.
“I have been moving all over the country teaching and training the populace about their rights and that implies that I am coming back in 2021. NRM party survives on witchcraft, intimidation, and corruption. So you should not be worried,” he said adding that: “The biggest problem we have are the lawmakers/MPs that keep fronting President Museveni each time elections draw closer. They always pass policies in his favour and since he hasn’t groomed any other person from the party he will front his son Lt. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.”
He also accused NRM of surviving on witchcraft, intimidation and corruption.
“The ruling National Resistance Party (NRM) survives on witchcraft, intimidation, and corruption,” he said.
Mr. Mabirizi, a pastor at Namungoona in Kampala, a counselor, educationist and an industrialist came to the limelight in 2016 with his famous response: “I will empower women from top to down there” during the presidential debate.
He was among the presidential candidates that included: Mr. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (NRM), Dr. Kizza Besigye (FDC), Ms. Faith Kyalya (Independent), Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba (Independent), Rtd Gen. Benon Biraro (FPU), Mr. Amama Mbabazi (Independent), and Mr. Abed Bwanika (PDP).
