The party’s General Secretary, Mr. Nandala Mafabi, articulated this change in a letter addressed to Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among. The FDC has promptly appointed Yusuf Nsibambi as the new whip, with this transition taking effect immediately, thereby succeeding Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda.

The formal communication states, “Pursuant to section 6 (I), the FDC hereby designates Hon. Yusuf Nsibambi as the Party Whip of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in lieu of Hon. Ssemujju Ibrahim Nganda.” The release of this letter underscores the party’s commitment to refining its leadership structure.
