JOINT COMMUNIQUE

Over the last 4 days (June 4-7, 2015), political and civic leaders of
political parties, pressure groups and eminent citizens met in a joint
consultation to chart a new political path for our country. As leaders,
we are concerned by the current political and economic gridlock in
our country.
The consultation was convened under the auspices of the Free and
Fair Elections Campaign. The Free and Fair Elections Campaign
brings together all democracy seeking forces in Uganda (seeking) to
establish a credible electoral management system.
In spite of the calls to reform our distorted electoral management
system towards and after 2011 general elections, and after five years
of running government, the regime is now scampering and
stampeding our parliament with last minute proposed reforms that do
not meet the aspirations of Ugandans. Ugandans are aware that the
character of deceit and ignoring citizens is consistent with the
character of the current regime. Until this time, the government has
dishonored the Citizens Compact on Free and Fair Elections and
other proposed reforms advanced by other interest groups.
We are conscious that Ugandans here at home and abroad are
depressed over the direction that our country is taking. We know that
they are resolute in changing the course of direction our country is
taking and are anxious to hear a message of unity.
During the course of the meeting, we were able to make important
decisions and reach a series of agreements on how to chart a new
direction for the good of our country.
The purpose of this communiqu, therefore, is to inform the people of
Ugandan and the international community that on Wednesday June
10, 2015, we shall communicate the outcomes of the meeting.

We call upon every Ugandan to remain unyielding and steadfast in

working for a better future.
