By John Odyek The Secretary General of the National Democratic Forum (NDF), Basajja Kkambwe Lule, has said they want to form a coalition government with President Yoweri Museveni if he wins the presidential elections. Lule was recently speaking on behalf of the 31 campaign agents of presidential candidate Chaapa Karuhanga who crossed over to Museveni's camp. This was at the Vice-president, Dr. Speciosa Kazibwe's residence at Bugolobi. Lule said they would maintain their membership with the party whose president is Karuhanga. He said they were not motivated by money because Karuhanga had lots of it. However, Karuhanga's press secretary, Mr. Tumusiime, said Lule was no longer an NDF member. He said Lule had left NDF last November and his position was filled. Tumusiime also said the defectors were not members of Karuhanga's task force because they had no appointment letters. Karuhanga on Saturday told a news conference that Kazibwe had been duped by conmen to believe that his campaign task force had defected to Museveni's camp. Ends
