Former FDC president Maj Gen (rtd) Mugisha Muntu is set to carry the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) party flag bearer in the 2021 presidential election.
This comes after Gen Muntu became the only person in his party to show interest in the position.
Recently, Gen Mugisha Muntu stepped down from his position as ANT's national coordinator to contest for the party flag bearer ahead of the 2021 presidential election.
Ms Alice Alaso, the ANT deputy national coordinator in charge of Finance and Administration took over from Muntu pending subsequent decisions by the National Delegates Conference in August this year.
It has now emerged that Gen Muntu was the only one that picked his party's nomination forms. The exercise to pick the forms ended yesterday.
Muntu who launched the party in May last year after leaving the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Party, often indicated that the party is ready for the general elections.
According to the ANT electoral roadmap, registration and picking of nomination forms for the party's flag-bearer will take place between June 22 and 25 at the party's headquarters in Kampala.
Verification of nomination qualification documents took place between June 26-29, while nomination for the party presidential flag-bearer is slated for July 1 to 2.
In September 2018, Muntu and a section of his supporters quit the FDC party to form ANT with the main objective of building grassroots party structures, encourage more members to run for parliamentary seats and in local elections, as well as working in coalition with like-minded opposition forces.
