Forum for Democratic Change(FDC) ‘s kicked out its remaining iron lady, Ingrid Turinawe, on 7th December 2020.

Turinawe has however hit back at the secretary-general Nandala Mafabi for thoughtlessly sacking her out of a party she has toiled with from the beginning.
“I even saw a lot of ego and anger in Nathan Nandala-Mafabi’s interview over the same. Ingrid Turinawe did a lot for the struggle, you can’t just wish her away, you must listen to her first and find out why she ‘would strangle a baby she birthed,” she said.
The roaring iron lady went on to ask her party to borrow a leaf from the NRM chairperson president Yoweri Museveni who has never kicked out defiant members for choosing to stand as independents.
“You may not like President Museveni, but there are some good lessons you can pick even from your worst enemy. There’s something to learn from Museveni,” she said.
She affirms that Nandala has no authority to fire her and she will not quit the party until the delegate conference sits to determine her fate.
Turinawe is standing as an Independent for the Rukungiri Municipality seat where FDC has a candidate.
