Gen Muntu Welcomes FDC Defectors To ANT

The Alliance for National Transformation(ANT) party presidential founder and also flag bearer Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu, has said that his party is ready to welcome any aggrieved politician from any political party as long as the person shares their core values.

Speaking to journalists on Saturday, Gen. Muntu revealed that they will be talking to some politicians and convincing them to cross over to ANT.

“We prefer to have people who are convinced about the values we stand for and also those who are convinced that ANT is building for the long term. So anybody who feels aggrieved at any time…we will accept him or her and work with them,” Muntu said.

Muntu also added that, similarly, if there is anybody in ANT now or in the future who feels aggrieved for any reason and feels like walking out of the party, they will have no problem at all with such a person.

He said the political culture in Uganda seems that once there is a disagreement between the two parties, enmity is created but ANT will not be like that.

He explained that ANT is ready to provide an opportunity to some of these members as long as they believe in their ideologies.

Though a number of political players have expressed fear for the use of virtual campaigns and elections, Muntu said that this is a great chance for them to use the opportunity to take over power.
