Four-time Presidential candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye has called for unity in the opposition ahead of the 2021 General elections. Besigye made the call during his end of year press conference where he also declared the 2020 a year of fighting for human rights and bring change in the country.
Besigye said opposition should avoid internal conflicts and find away of working together if it is to take up the leadership of this country.
“We have regime agents who are filtrating our process wanting to cause conflicts, confusion so that instead of focusing on where the problem is which is very small group and we start focusing on ourselves,”he said.
He advised opposition to always stay firm and strong even if one is provoked he or she should not respond in equal terms.
On whether he will stand come 2021, Besigye said this will be his personal decision. Although he has not yet announced his intentions to stand for President.
“I have always said once this struggle is over. I will not seek elective position in this country. I have never been in the struggle for leadership, I am in the struggle for equal rights,” Besigye said.
At the beginning of this year, Besigye and his people government pressure group declared 2019 a year of action aimed at causing change in the country, Besigye said few things were achieved.
“Many people of our detractors don’t understand the year of action and what it meant. Indeed part of the actions that are underway this year was to challenge that very electoral commission which is organising elections where there is no constituencies,” he said.
Besigye used the same function to declare 2020 a year of double action and fighting human rights in the country.
“If you stand in the way of our rights, we shall push you until there is respect for every Ugandan,” Besigye added.
