A fortnight ago, the youthful pressure group People Power called upon politicians who are willing to contest in the forthcoming elections to pick nominations forms.
Following the announcement,a good number of individual vowing for elective positions in 2021 have picked forms from the movement headquarters in Kamwokya.
Capt. Mike Mukula, the NRM vice chairperson in charge of Eastern Uganda has laughed at politicians picking nomination forms from the youthful movement saying it will not uplift them politically.
According to Mukula, People Power is a wind that will soon pass because it has no structures.
“People power is just an assembly of pressure groups. You can’t associate with groups that can’t bring tangible evidence. If it was a child, People Power is only growing teeth. It has no roots. Many will crush by joining it,” Mukula said.
He said a pressure group has no room in Uganda’s political arena as all those picking forms from People Power will be referred to as independents if they win their respective seats.
“The Electoral Commission only knows NRM, FDC, DP, UPC and Jeema but people power is not known.”
