Leader of Opposition Wafula Oguttu
More Ugandans are likely to shun the 2016 general election if the electoral reforms are not implemented.
This is according to the leader of opposition in Parliament Wafula Oguttu.
Opening a two-day retreat for opposition MPs, Wafula said that many Ugandans are losing hope in elections and this has a negative impact on democracy.
Wafula says that in 2011, 42% of Ugandans stayed away from taking part in elections after the opposition split and failed to front a joint presidential candidate.
He says although the NRM is not showing commitment to having the reforms passed and implemented the opposition should not give up.
