“We don’t go looking for support. We are the party in movement. We have support of the magye (army),”Anite said.

Her statement shocked the entire nation and this has forced the army to come out to distance itself from the minister’s statement.

“The UPDF has established structures and 10 Members of Parliament through whom it can make its views known when necessary,”Brig.Karemire said adding that, “The UPDF shall always remain nonpartisan as per article 208 (2) of the Constitution.”
