Let me break down what is happening and what is likely to happen from 2026 and beyond.
From the start, the dynasty project was moving smoothly and according to plan.
Risky and outspoken army generals were neutralized.
Credible and independent politicians were largely cleared out.
Influential religious voices were silenced or tamed.
All that remained was to roll out the red carpet for the palace prince.
Then came 2017—and a musician entered politics.
The father quickly sensed danger. As Bobi Wine himself later said, Arua was meant to be the end of him. The plan was simple: deal with the problem and manage the consequences.
2021 and its aftermath were dismissed as a wave of excitement—Ugandans enjoying a celebrity they once paid to watch, now appearing “for free.” The regime convinced itself it was a temporary craze, not a political force.
2021–2026, the strategy shifted: infiltrate, plant moles, weaken, and break the party from within. But God had other plans.
Now we enter the campaign period.
The expectation was limited popularity—Buganda at best, maybe pockets of Eastern Uganda like Jinja. What unfolded instead shocked them.
They encountered a “King David” phenomenon:
a leader whose appeal crossed regions, tribes, and class;
border to border popularity;
and, crucially, a politician who had matured, not just survived.
What happened during—and after—January 15th is the regime scrambling to manage unforeseen realities. The commitment to dynastic succession remains, but the truth is now obvious: the dynasty is in decline.
The next move is predictable. They will attempt to weaken or completely finish off National Unity Platform, using every tool available to them.
Personally, I believe God is in control.
Night may fall, but dawn always comes—at the appointed time.
@GabrielBuule This is so low of you. Its the leading party that determines how much goes to opposition members. So you either be opposition or Leading party. Its only a fool who would have such thinking on matters regarding on the same and you can't be among.
As 15 January approaches, kindly remember that all our candidates are represented by the Umbrella symbol. I respectfully remind and request you to vote for H.E. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, @HEBobiwine, as President, together with all @NUP_Ug candidates.
#ProtestVoteUg2026
We announced a phone call day. The citizens turned it into a phone call season. We're very grateful to everyone who continues to make those phone calls trying to reach the last voter. So, the campaign is still on until the official closure of campaigns on Tuesday next week. IF YOU HAVEN'T, make those phone calls today! Remind our people to turn up and vote for #ANewUgandaNow.
The law prohibits the placing of polling stations within barracks.
There are polling stations which on paper are outside the Naguru-Ntinda barracks, but the ground assessment shows they were actually positioned inside the fenced barracks, contrary to electoral laws, because barracks have restrictions in terms of access.
I have written to the Electoral Commission asking them to remedy this because it is not acceptable.
The strange thing is that according to EC documents, the 18 polling stations inside the barracks are said to have a total of 12,455 voters…just one single barracks!!!
