RUKUNGIRI, UGANDA: Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Mobiliser Henry Mugarura, has crossed to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party after his futile struggle to have Dr Kizza Besigye lead the country.
Mugarura, who had 20 years ago crossed from the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party to FDC told Journalists last Saturday that he had moved from NRM to “support the son of the soil Dr. Kizza Besigye” for presidency.
Mugarura, a businessman in Kampala who hails from Ruhinda Sub County in Rukungiri district said over time, things did not work as he expected.
He said he was disappointed when FDC was “taken over by other forces with other intentions contrary to those of Dr. Besigye”
Mugarura was received back to NRM by the Rukungiri district NRM chairman who is also the national security minister Hon. Maj. Gen. Jim Katugugu Muhwezi together with other strong NRM supporters including Posiano Ngabirano the proprietor of Capital Shoppers, Martin Mwambusya, and Mugarura Kaharata who all hail from Ruhinda Sub County.

Maj Gen Muhwezi said winning Mugarura back to the ruling party was a great achievement and foundation to foster development in the area.
“Mugarura is an enterprising person with vast skills and experience in business management who recently revived Rweshaka SACCO in Ruhinda Sub-County. Now that he is back, we shall work together to drive economic growth in Rujumbura county,” he said.
Earlier last year, a group of 50 FDC supporters in Rukungiri District crossed to the NRM and they were coordinated and introduced to the President by Security Minister Jim Muhwezi and Rukungiri Resident District Commissioner, Stephen Nsubuga Bewayo at Riverside Hotel in Rukungiri on 1st December 2022.
