Uganda’s strongest opposition leader Col Kizza Besigye left is in Ghana capital Accra to attend the executive meeting and standing committee on foreign affairs.
Besigye attended in his capacity as the vice chairman of International Democratic Union (IDU), a global association of centre-right political parties from 56 countries worldwide.
He is accompanied by his party president Maj Gen Mugisha Muntu to this association that commits to democratic governance.
IDU is an international alliance of centre-right political parties. Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, IDU comprises 71 full and associate members from 63 different countries and is chaired by Sir John Key, former Prime Minister of New Zealand.
The IDU provides a forum in which political parties holding similar beliefs can come together and exchange views on matters of policy and organisational interest.
From this, they act cooperatively, establish contacts, and present a unified voice toward the promotion of centre-right policies around the globe.
IDU has been supportive of Forum For Democratic (FDC) in financing its projects in its quest to remove the ruling regime.
IDU was among the political bodies that denounced Uganda’s 2016 Presidential elections as being unfair.
