The opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Katonga faction is growing increasingly concerned about the Electoral Commission’s (EC) delay in finalizing the registration of their new political formation, the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF).
According to Erias Lukwago, acting president of the FDC Katonga faction, the party submitted all required documents to the Commission last year, but the PFF has yet to be cleared to operate as a political party in Uganda.
Lukwago expressed surprise at the delay, citing the EC’s promise to issue a certificate approving the PFF’s existence by January 16, 2025. Despite the one-month timeframe stipulated in the Political Parties and Management Act, the certificate has not been issued.
“As you roll out the registration and update of voters’ register, you should have given us our certificate to enable us to participate in the forthcoming general elections,” Lukwago emphasized.
To address the issue, the FDC Katonga faction is sending a delegation of faction officials to the Commission’s headquarters to obtain the certificate.
