A viral TikTok video claims that Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) denounced Yusuf Kiruluuta Nkeretanyi following remarks made during the Speaker nominations at Kololo Independence Grounds on May 25, 2026, however the clip’s audio was found to have been altered.

JamiiCheck traced the original footage to an interview published by OkayAfrica on May 15, 2026, where Bobi Wine discussed Ugandan politics and life after exile, not the alleged remarks circulating online.

Kupitia ufuatiliaji kwa njia ya mtandao, imebainika kuwa nukuu zinazosambaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii tangu Aprili 06, 2026, zikidaiwa kutolewa na Makamu Mwenyekiti wa chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) Bara, John Heche, Si za kweli.

Nukuu hizo zinajiri kufuatia mazungumzo ya Heche na waandishi wa habari, ambapo katika hotuba yake ya dakika 31, hakutamka kauli hiyo na badala yake alijikita zaidi kuongelea ongezeko la bei ya mafuta, athari zake kwa jamii na mapendekezo ya hatua zinazopaswa kuchukuliwa.
