Controversial academic Stella Nyanzi has become a registered member of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) political party. She took the opportunity of the swearing ceremony of the party president, to register.
Nyanzi announced her membership on her Facebook page yesterday.
“After much thought, I have joined the Forum for Democratic Change immediately after the swearing in ceremony of the new party president. I am very desperate for change in Uganda. FDC is the political party where I find true fellowship with people invested in ousting Museveni and ending the military dictatorship.
I summon all Ugandans committed to regime change to come end the year in style by joining the FDC! There is a lot of work to be done,” Dr.Nyanzi said.
Nyanzi paid UShs 1,000 for registration.
Stella Nyanzi has been making political statements on social media for some time. One statement got her arrested for offensive communication.
She captured national attention when she undressed in protest at her office being locked at Makerere University’s Institute of Social Research (MISR) where she used to work.
The storm emerged from a disagreement with the institute director Mahmood Mamdani who ordered her to leave if she did not fulfill the requirement of teaching for all MISR fellows.
