NUP, FDC Agree on Collaborative Strategy in Toro Sub-Region

The National Unity Platform (NUP) and the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) have agreed on a collaborative strategy in the Toro sub-region aimed at strengthening opposition coordination ahead of the forthcoming elections.

Leaders from the two parties say the cooperation will focus on sharing information on polling agent identification and deployment, joint voter protection efforts, and mutual support for candidates contesting various elective positions in the region.

The development was announced on Monday during a joint press conference held in Fort Portal City.

Davis Rwamuhumbu, the NUP coordinator for the Toro sub-region, said the initiative is intended to reduce duplication of effort, improve election-day vigilance, and enhance the competitiveness of opposition candidates.

According to Rwamuhumbu, the partnership will prioritize joint identification and deployment of polling agents to ensure adequate coverage of polling stations and timely reporting of results.

He added that the two parties will also coordinate at the grassroots level to avoid internal competition that could split the opposition vote. 
 
Rwamuhumbu noted that the collaboration will allow supporters of one party to back the other’s candidate in areas where their party has not fielded a contender.

Under the agreement, NUP and FDC will allow their polling agents to work on behalf of each other at polling stations where one party lacks representation. 
The arrangement is aimed at strengthening election monitoring and safeguarding votes, especially in areas where opposition parties have previously struggled to deploy agents.
