[00:00:37]We want to build the synergies of working together. We want to build our cooperation to escalate it to another level.

[00:00:46]And we really appreciate you being here and look forward to a better future of cooperation between party to party.

[00:00:56]Uh Uganda is a very calm country with the potential of becoming better than what you see.

[00:01:03]We became a political party in its 2006 when we went for multi-party elections.

[00:01:14]But before that, we were a movement system.

[00:02:47]And so we are growing in terms of strength.

[00:02:50]We are expanding in terms of membership.

[00:02:53]And we are deepening our activities in the villages in the communities.

[00:02:57]And many young people have come to join
