The mental health of both students & parents MUST be prioritized this time round in UG otherwise suicide cases may overwhelm us all. #mentalhealth#Uganda#Parents#students
NUPโs Robert Kyagulanyi was shielded by his supporters as military officers beat them after blocking him from accessing his campaign rally venue in Gulu City. His EC-appointed security is seen trying to stop the UPDF officers from beating the presidential candidate. #NTVNews #UgandaDecides2026 #UGDecides2026
Fellow citizens, very honored to present to you the National Unity Platform Manifesto, 2026 - 2031, which we launched in Jinja District today. This is a manifesto born out of extensive consultation with our people. These are not mere promises- this is a covenant we are making with the people of Uganda to give our nation a fresh start. A NEW UGANDA NOW
Find the detailed manifesto on the link below:

@kasujja Apart from a few countries mentioned, others in the same statement also speak Swahili, such as Rwanda and the Congo. Instead, I would provide French as an extra choice for citizens.
It would be very valuable if @Dr_Samkazibwe could break down for citizens key priorities in Ugandaโs presidential race. @NUP_Ug@NRMOnline . This could be fun.
@frankbalkazerg1 Good thoughts in line of fairness and uniformity in conflict resolution and hiring PR glues to sanitize is an interesting approach for sympathy and tongue twisting.
@emmanuel_dombo Itโs a pity that this thinking persists in a country that has had the same government for 40 years and describes service delivery sarcastically.
This morning, I had the honor of delivering a keynote address to members of the Uganda Law Society and the public at large reflecting upon the role of lawyers in promoting social justice through upholding human rights and electoral integrity.
I spoke about my childhood dream of being a lawyer โ which I only achieved last year in my 40s after getting the time and means I never had in my childhood. Reflecting upon this, I emphasized that the State must take its role of subsidizing life for its citizens very seriously as that ensures that they all have the opportunity to live meaningful and fulfilled lives.
I condemned the judicial cowardice masked as "legal doctrine" behind which judicial officers have since independence repeatedly hidden to sanitize and legitimize military dictatorship, fraudulent elections and human rights abuses. I specifically critiqued the so-called 'Political Question Doctrine,' and the 'Substantiality Test' upon which the Supreme Court has on numerous ocassions relied to dismiss mind-bending evidence of vote rigging and electoral violence against dictator Museveni.
Even when the judges know that any single act of rigging, however big or small, was done precisely to alter the final result; even when they know that no one rigs an election for the sake of rigging it but to win it; and even when they know that State-led electoral malpractice undermines the credibility of the entire process and result, they still go ahead to say it was not "substantial". In other words, they would rather feel โsafeโ than uphold their judicial oath.
We must build a country where law serves the people, not power. Lawyers, by their training and knowledge alone, must play a central role in achieving this objective because their inaction amidst oppression makes them complicit. No one is ever safe in a lawless nation and we have the example of none other than former Chief Justice Ben Kiwanuka to demonstrate that.
The struggle continues! #ProtestVoteUg2026
