Opposition stalwart Kizza Besigye has told the people of Mbabrara that his plans are not to wait for 2026 elections to remove President Museveni and the NRM government from power.

"I will not wait for 2026, let us begin now, our plan is not to look for a leader, our plan is to look for what to lead and that is our country Uganda that is in captivity by Mr Museveni and his family," Besigye said.

"If one morning we all decide and agree that no food stuff will be sent to Kampala, the army who Mr Museveni thinks belongs to him can rebel against him due to hunger and in that regard be sent off as the president, that way we shall have redeemed ourselves from the enslavement of this family," he said.

"The Najja group has a totally different aim that is driven by selfish interests and how they will survive the tough times created by this government," Besigye said. Buhweju County MP Francis Mwijukye said the Nandala group at Najjanankumbi made it clear on who they are and work.According to the Secretary General FDC Katonga, Harold Kaija, despite the damage the Najjanankumbi has caused on the FDC party,"we still have our party structures and the people still believe in Dr Besigye".
