Shameful news coming from Masaka where Court has denied the bail applications of comrades Eddie Mutwe, Archileo Kivumbi, Mugumya Gaddafi and Wakabi Smart – all members of our security team. The excuse? That the charges they face are too serious to allow them regain their freedom! Like countless other political prisoners, these comrades stand falsely accused of laughable offences including aggravated robbery and assault that they allegedly committed during a burial I attended in May 2024. The four are accused, ridiculously, of having stolen a phone and a sweater using knives and sticks!
The script is familiar. We saw it in the ruling on Dr. Kizza Besigye's bail application. We saw it most recently in Yasin Machete's. On each of these ocassions, the Courts denied bail on the pretext that the comrades are going to be subjected to a speedy trial. Now, this time in Masaka, the same tired lie is being repeated. Owing to recent social media posts by dictator Museveni’s son, we believe that all these rulings have been choreographed to ensure that none of the comrades regain their freedom under any circumstances, and no matter what the law says.
Eddie Mutwe and group are not and have never been criminals. Like others, they are just political prisoners jailed for nothing else but their loyalty to the struggle for justice and freedom. We demand for their immediate release and call upon all Ugandans at home and abroad to raise their voices against this blatant abuse and weaponisation of the law to settle political scores. Like I have repeatedly said, and like history has always shown, no amount of persecution will stop a people determined to be free! #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersUganda

I'm deeply concerned about Eddie Mutwe's situation as well as Achileo Kivumbi, Smart Wa Bobi, Noah wa Bobi, General Gaddaffi plus other comrades under torture and I want the public to know that we are standing in solidarity with them.
Congratulations, comrade @lucky_ariho, upon your victory as Guild President of Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST)! Thank you for carrying the @NUP_Ug flag with courage and pride. Now that you have won, please be on your guard against the many traps that will be laid for you to betray the people's struggle for freedom. I charge you to remain vigilant at all times!
Thank you too, our team in Western Uganda led by Deputy President Jolly Jacklyn Tukamushaba, and the NUP Institutions team, for this great result!
#PeoplePowerOurPower
THANK YOU.
I have taken note of the many messages of appreciation from many of you, friends. I am extremely humbled that these little efforts towards making motherland better are recognised and appreciated by you all.
However, let me say that whereas the light tends to shine most on us leaders, we have a wonderful team that we work with, under the overall leadership of our President, @HEBobiwine.
Some of these comrades are on the frontline of the cause, while many others work behind the scenes.
In the case of yesterday, I want to appreciate all those who did everything within their power to ensure that the people's victory was secured. THANK YOU.
There are those who made sure we got our DR Forms on time - most of them jumping on boda-bodas while being chased by security operatives. THANK YOU.
Our polling agents and supervisors, many of whom resisted illegal orders to leave their stations. There were attempts to compromise some, but most stood their ground. THANK YOU.
The different political leaders who offered financial and logistical support to the campaign, but were also present to protect the vote at great personal risk. THANK YOU.
There are those who were running to different hospitals to ensure that our injured comrades got treatment, and the doctors who were attending to them. THANK YOU.
There are those who delivered food and water to our polling agents and supervisors to ensure they did not leave their stations. THANK YOU.
The lawyers who were running from police station to another to offer legal aid to those arrested. THANK YOU.
Our welfare team, who were updating family members of those arrested or abducted and availing those arrested with food and water. THANK YOU.
Our security team who tried their best to evacuate some leaders and comrades from harm's way. THANK YOU.
The members of our Election Management Committee who were with us at the tally centre doing our independent tally and quickly locating the anomalies. THANK YOU.
The many volunteers who spent the day making reports of whatever was going on, and the ordinary citizens who were being pushed off polling stations by the military and yet refusing to go far away. Many hid in buildings adjacent to polling stations and kept an eye on the goings on. THANK YOU.
Those who took great risks, taking pictures, and recording videos under very dangerous circumstances so that we kept updating the country after the media had been battered and forced to withdraw. THANK YOU.
Our diaspora team and EVERYBODY else.
Above all, the GREAT PEOPLE of Kawempe North who resisted all manner of intimidation to deliver comrade Nalukoola's victory. THANK YOU.
I am persuaded beyond measure that if this Unity of Purpose can continue and even grow, our victory will be closer than we all imagine.
