Independent Presidential Candidate Henry Tumukunde Kakurugu has once again asked the members of the armed forces to rally behind him as he seeks to remove Gen. Yoweri Museveni from power come 2021.
Tumukunde in an emotional speech after being nominated extended an appeal to the army saying, “ I am your own” and there is no one who knows the military better than him.
For a while now, Tumukunde has consistently said he has support of the military and that a large section of UPDF generals don’t support the Commander in Chief (CiC) but are rather hunting for survival.
Earlier, Tumukunde’s nomination stalled after he presented uncertified documents to the Electoral Commission.
He was finally nominated after rectifying the glitch. He has chosen the clock as a symbol since he is an independent candidate.
His campaign slogan is a “Renewed Uganda.”
