The Democratic Party (DP) has officially set May 30 as the date for its much-anticipated Delegates Conference, where new party leadership will be elected.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made alongside the unveiling of the party\u2019s roadmap for internal elections, a process that is expected to shape DP\u2019s future amid ongoing internal divisions.<\/p>\n

According to the roadmap presented at a press conference at the party\u2019s headquarters in Mengo, the election process will kick off at the grassroots level, starting with village elections from April 1 to 6. Parish elections will follow from April 7 to 13, with sub-county elections scheduled between April 14 and 20. The process will culminate in constituency-level elections set for April 21 to 27, paving the way for the National Delegates Conference at the end of May.<\/p>\n

During the conference, DP delegates will elect key party officials, including the party president, deputy president, secretary-general, treasurer, and other strategic leadership positions.<\/p>\n

Unveiling the election roadmap, DP President General Norbert Mao emphasized the importance of party members\u2019 participation, urging them to ensure they are duly registered to take part in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is like a bus; it finds passengers at the stage waiting for it. Members who are not prepared and ready will be left behind,\u201d Mao stated.<\/p>\n

Mao also took the opportunity to reaffirm his leadership, challenging those who oppose him to leave the party if they disagree with the current direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must respect the current leadership,\u201d he declared, sending a strong message to factions within the party calling for his removal.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes at a time of heightened internal tensions within DP following an agreement signed between Mao and the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. A faction of DP members has since questioned Mao\u2019s commitment to the party\u2019s independence, accusing him of aligning with the government.<\/p>\n

As the elections approach, political analysts predict a highly contested race for DP\u2019s leadership, with party members eager to redefine their direction ahead of Uganda\u2019s 2026 general elections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
