Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential aspirants yesterday avoided the presidential debate that was organized by NBS TV scheduled 07th October 2020, 9:30pm.
Patrick Amuriat and Waswa Bigirwa who are vying for the FDC flag for the 2021 presidentail race were expected to face off in a live televised presidential debate, debating on several issues of governance. However, the two candidates didn’t turn up, disappointing the viewers, party supporters, and the hosts.
Speaking at NBS, the Forum for Democratic Change spokesperson Hon. Ssemujju Nganda revealed that the two candidates were too tired from the countrywide engagements they have been on in addition to organizing the executive council meeting that will take place on 8th October 2020.
However, analysts believe FDC intentionally stopped their candidates from appearing on the live televised debate to conceal the lacking manifesto that the candidates would have presented, exposing their weaknesses at this early stage.
