Mr Simusamba said that police had already been notified of the party’s intentions to hold rallies countrywide till the next rainy season.
“Yes we are embarking on campaign rallies and continued party mobilisation in all parts of the country before the commencement of another rainy season. We want to interact with our old and new members.
