Besigye said the launch was to sensitize Buganda about the 2011 elections and advised people to vote out the NRM IN 2011.Mulwanyamuli’s long walk with Besigye

On June 8, two former katikkiros (prime ministers) of Buganda Kingdom officially “announced” that they were joining active politics. The two men—Dan Muliika and Mulwanyamuli Ssemwogerere —would reportedly campaign for the coalition of the opposition – the Inter Party Cooperation (IPC) in the 2011 parliamentary and presidential elections.
The announcement was received with shock inside the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM). A top NRM leader who did not want to be named told The Independent that the Movement had expected Muliika to take such a move but not Mulwanyamuli.
The news was received with excitement and enthusiasm in the opposition, especially in the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and the Baganda faction of the Democratic Party (DP) led by Members of Parliament (MPs) Betty Nambooze and Erias Lukwago.
