Police is heavily deployed at the Forum for Democratic Change headquarters in Najjanankumbi as Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, Betty Nambooze and other DP members are being unveiled as official party members.
Lukwago and former FDC president Dr Kiiza Besigye-who is the guest of honour have both arrived at the venue for the event that will also double as the launch of the party’s 2021 election roadmap.
It is not yet clear though, if the police will allow the meeting to proceed.
Several members of FDC have been seen jubilating and are all set to welcome Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago into the fold.
Nakawa Member of Parliament Michael Kabaziguruka is among the senior party members who have welcomed Lukwago.
FDC party leaders, including Vice President for Western Region Roland Kaginda, party president Patrick Amuriat, patron Dr. Kizza Besigye have been part of the negotiation team.
Mr Lukwago, according to sources, is set to seek nomination as FDC presidential flag bearer after Dr Besigye did not indicate that he wants to carry the party flag in the 2021 polls.
