NTUNGAMO, UGANDA – National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi, widely known as Bobi Wine, sparked hope for a new Uganda as he campaigned in Ntungamo district, vowing to confront decades of empty promises he says have become the trademark of President Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Speaking at Rukiri playground amid tight security, Kyagulanyi condemned the “naked promises” of the ruling government, which he accused of failing to deliver on health, equality, and governance after nearly forty years in power. Flanked by his wife, Barbie Kyagulanyi Itungo—Ntungamo’s own—and a robust NUP delegation, Kyagulanyi addressed cheering supporters undeterred by attempts from police and military to disrupt his rally.
Kyagulanyi pledged sweeping reforms: improving health facilities, rooting out corruption, and staffing hospitals adequately. He highlighted the plight of political prisoners and called for their release, promising justice for all, regardless of status or tribe. “Ugandans deserve real change, not recycled lies,” Kyagulanyi asserted, directly challenging Museveni’s record.
Barbie Itungo Kyagulanyi, speaking to her hometown crowd, urged supporters not to be swayed by last-minute giveaways but to vote wisely for Uganda’s future. The event drew key NUP figures and energized the rural stronghold, signaling growing momentum for the opposition ahead of elections.
