The campaign camp of presidential candidate Lt General Henry Kakurugu Tumukunde have asked the public to treat the news  claiming that Hon Patrick Oboi Amuriat has stepped down and backed the bush war general, as fake and  misleading.

Via their Renewed Uganda Facebook page, camp Tumukunde clarified that the document appearing on Forum for Democratic Change headed paper claiming to announce a resolution from the Central Executive Committee to be fake.

The document claimed that FDC’s CEC held a meeting over the weekend and reached a unanimous decision to have the barefoot candidate and party flag bearer Patrick Amuriat bow out of the race and render his support to the independent candidate Gen. Tumukunde who uses the pressure group team Renewed Uganda.

Camp Tumukunde said that such fake news are meant to fail any attempts by the opposition to u unite in the nearing elections.

Gen. Tumukunde insists on driving for change and has urged his supporters to vote any person in the opposition whom they think can lead Uganda forward after Museveni. He added that should both Museveni and opposition candidates fail to raise the required 50% in the elections, he will support and rally behind any opposition candidate that will versus Museveni in the rerun.

FDC hasn’t said anything about the letter.
