President Museveni has presented Ugandans with an opportunity for political change in the forthcoming general elections, Maj Gen (Rtd) Mugisha Muntu has said.

Gen Muntu who is the national coordinator for the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT), said Uganda is ripe for political change.

“At any one time, God presents you with an opportunity to make a landmark. In 57 years of Uganda’s independence, we have been presented with various opportunities for change. We now have a new opportunity of politically changing Uganda. There is deep desire for change within NRM and opposition forces. We must seize this opportunity,” Muntu told over 100 ANT coordinators in Bunyoro region on Monday at Eka Hotel in Hoima town as he started his regional tours to popularise the party.

The ANT western Uganda regional coordinator Mr Jackson Wabyoona who convened the meeting said the tours are intended to create awareness among leaders about party direction and disseminating core messages, values, and positions of the party.

According to Gen Muntu, Ugandans are ready for a new chapter of governance and want qualitative change in political leadership that will benefit citizens.

He said corruption, injustices, rising crime levels, poverty, governance inconsistencies have frustrated Ugandans who now desire political change.
