The Party President of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Eng. Patrick Amuriat Oboi, has hosted opposition party leaders under the patronage of the Joint Democratic Platform to further the Inter-Party Consultation on the famous Consociational Democracy Agreement.
The consultative meeting held on Thursday, November 12th, 2026, at the FDC Party Headquarters in Najjanankumbi, Kampala, brought together a cross-section of opposition leaders including Jimmy James Akena, the Party President of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC); Dr. Phillip Michael Bayigga Lulume, the Acting Party Leader of the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF); Sadam Ggayira, the Party Chairman of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP); and Counsel Derrick Namakajjo, the Deputy Secretary General of the Democratic Front (DF).
They were joined by the host FDC delegation of Senior Party Management, led by the National Chairman, Jack Sabiiti, who presented a paper on policy dialogue.
According to officials, the opposition leaders exchanged views on the state of the country’s development and governance, reflecting on the importance of continued cooperation regarding the Inter-Party Consultation on the Proposed Consociational Democracy Agreement, as well as its implications for multiparty democracy, representation and accountability.
One of the major aims of the Joint Democratic Platform is to strengthen the Opposition and restore good leadership in Uganda through structured engagement and joint action. However, the meeting comes as opposition parties have explored frameworks for cooperation ahead of future political engagements.
According to Amuriat, the party reaffirms its commitment to working together with other willing political formations and organisations that share similar objectives.
“FDC continues to work together and cooperate with other willing political formations and organisations that share similar objectives, to build a better Uganda that serves everyone,” Amuriat said.
The platform is expected to hold further consultations in the coming weeks. Amuriat is also expected to address issues concerning the Proposed Consociational Democracy Agreement during the party weekly presser on Monday.
