Former presidential candidate, Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba has revealed that President Museveni is the prophet of politics basing of the statements he made some years back.
“He (President Museveni) said there will not be opposition parties in 2020 and this is happening. FDC will be much weaker in the 2021 election,” he said.
He made the remarks during a political show on Tuesday on one of the local television stations in Kampala.
He further said Bobi Wine is going to be harassed in the interest of other political players that will work in the favour of the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
“At the time I came in to contest for the presidency, there was confusion and President Museveni was still benching on the party. I got 1% because I did not have people to guard my votes at the polling stations,” he said
He noted that any party that wants to win elections come 2021 should be progressive.
He predicted that there is no presidential candidate who will win president Museveni come 2021.
“When I look at 2021, apart from President Museveni, every candidate is weak. If Besigye does not contest in 2021, Museveni will garner more than 70% and Bobi Wine about 5%. If Byamugisha contests, he will get 0.04% of the votes,” he said.
He said what concerns him is that one would expect the existing political parties to have decided on the road maps for coming up with presidential candidates.
” The national consultations should be turned into primaries. The political parties are getting weaker and weaker due to poor party structures. We shall end up with some independents,” he said.
