Muntu Launches Platform to Recruit Members into his New Party

Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party president Gen. Mugisha Muntu has opened a platform through which people can reach out with ideas that will lead to the creation of a new political party.

Muntu announced the platform while addressing journalists on Thursday morning at Hotel Africana.

He was also using the press conference to officially announce his break away from FDC, a party he served as president from 2012 to 2017.

Dubbed New Formation, the platform collects details of people who have interest to join General Muntu’s party, allows them to choose an area where they wish to contribute and add any other comments.

“We shall use this information to come up with a party name,” Muntu said.

By publication time, the press conference was still going on.
