THE Inter-Party Cooperation (IPC) presidential candidate, Dr. Kizza Besigye, completed the western Uganda campaign tour with a big rally in his home district of Rukungiri on Monday.
Besigye told the ecstatic supporters that after traversing the 112 districts of Uganda, he was sure Ugandans were ready for change.
He, however, said he would return to campaign in Kampala.
Besigye, who referred to himself as “the President of Kampala”, said he was only going there to consolidate his support.
“Museveni does not have votes. It is not possible to have a re-run because we already exceeded the 50 percent,” Besigye said.
He said the NRM had resorted to propaganda by using the media to publish biased opinion polls.
Besigye urged his supporters to remain vigilant on polling day and look out for strangers who may want to vote at their polling stations.
After voting, stay at the polling station until the final tallying,” he said.
Besigye said the ruling NRM party planned to ferry voters to various polling stations to vote in favour of President Yoweri Museveni.
He insisted that the FDC party would count and tally its votes and announce its own results of the presidential poll.
“This is the time to redeem our country. Go and vote and guard your vote against thieves. They cannot physically assault you because the International Criminal Court is watching,” Besigye said.
Residents informed Besigye that they had seen military men in the district.
Besigye urged them not to be intimidated by the deployment. He told them that they were stronger than any weapons lined up against them.
“The army has a duty of protecting people and their property and not a mere individual. Don’t look at soldiers as your enemies. Greet them, give them water if they are thirsty but warn them against being used for selfish ends,” he said.
Besigye addressed several rallies in Nyakishenyi, Nyarushanje and Ruhinda, before heading to Rukungiri district stadium for a major rally.
