Summary
In his acceptance speech on January 16, President Museveni indicated that he would be initiating talks with sections of the Opposition. But NUP, which is set to become the biggest Opposition party in Parliament, has yet to out any terms under which it might engage Mr Museveni. FDC’s position has always been that any dialogue must have a definite agenda and discuss a transition from Museveni/NRM.

Mr Kyagulanyi, who is the National Unity Platform presidential candidate in next week’s presidential election, said he was forced to take his children out of the country after he received credible information that there was a plan by his opponents in the ruling party to kidnap them as part of a scheme to coerce him out of the race.
