BESIGYE CANNOT BE A FAILURE IN UPROOTING DICTATOR MUSEVENI THROUGH PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION – HE IS BEYOND MUSEVENI’S POLITICAL TRICKS & TDA
Dr. Kizza Besigye – he says NO REFORMS, NO
ELECTIONS.
In recent days, some misguided political analysts,
pro-NRM journalists and politicians have been peddling an incredible view that FDC
Strongman Kizza Besigye is a failure because he continues to insist on a
political and electoral agenda of NO REFORMS, NO ELECTIONS, and also because he
prefers a PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION, RATHER THAN GRACING AND PARTICIPATING IN
MUSEVENI-ORGANISED SHAM AND ALREADY RIGGED ELECTIONS.
Some have even begun to speculate that Dr. Kizza Besigye
is going to become politically irrelevant and extinct because he now faces a
revolt by some FDC MPs, who are planning to leave the party and join with
forces who are hell-bent on participating in Museveni-organised elections even
without the required REFORMS.
In a way, it is not a sin, nor a problem for those MPs
who wish to defect from a Besigye-led party to do so. Let them go - it is their
right to support whichever candidate they wish to support.
What matters for Uganda, however, in the current phase of
the People's Struggle for a new political dispensation, is, frankly, not how
many MPs a leader can master around you, but how huge a following a candidate
can master among the broader Ugandan population, with whose support a People's
Revolution can be actualized.
THE POLITICAL DISPENSATION AS IT IS, UNDER MUSEVENI
DICTATORSHIP, NECESSITATES AND DESERVES A PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION, NOT
POLITICIANS WHO ARE TAKING PRIDE IN JUMPING INTO A MUSEVENI-ORGANISED SHAM AND
ALREADY RIGGED ELECTION, AT THE END OF WHICH MUSEVENI IS GOING TO DECLARE
HIMSELF WINNER, EVEN WHEN HE LOOSES.
The real test and measure of how credible and strong a
Ugandan political leader is will not be determined by how many wavering MPs
abandon their original parties (NRM, FDC, UPC, DP, CP, etc), to support a
politician with a different political direction, but how big a following one
can have or master among the masses - the common citizen, for, these are the
ones in their millions who can make happen the REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE UGANDANS
ASPIRE FOR.
In the end, even in the post-Museveni era, when Ugandans
have re-established a democratic dispensation, it will still be the same
millions of simple voters who will make or break the country's political
leaders.
If any political leader is to ignore this incontrovertible
fact, the bitter truth might be that that leader may be the type who would love
to see a continuation of the elitist manipulations of the political system,
where a country’s political elites always seek to gain victory and power, not
via the power of the masses but via the anti-people political game-plays of the
few political elites operating from the dark shadows and corridors of the
so-called parliament of Uganda - a parliament
which for decades has been and remains packed with Museveni
dictatorship-supporting MPs who were elected through utterly sham and rigged
Museveni-organized elections.
