Interesting how some people keep announcing the “end” of Robert Kyagulanyi while millions of Ugandans are still listening to him. Politics is decided by citizens, not studio verdicts
@URAuganda@Sudhirntv A modern city must balance accessibility with order. While the Uganda Revenue Authority says its container Taxpayer Support Centre improves service delivery, the bigger question is whether such structures align with smart city planning, urban standards, and aesthetic consistency.
Sovereignty isn’t a shield against accountability.
The issue isn’t Europe’s flaws — it’s whether Ugandans’ rights are protected at home. Dismissing critics and labeling citizens “goons” avoids the real Qns.
Strong nations answer concerns with transparency and not deflation.

This moment in Uganda’s history demands honesty and responsible leadership. The struggle is bigger than any individual or office. In time, we will rebuild Uganda by strengthening families, restoring institutions, and preparing a generation to lead with integrity and national duty
Message to the Chairperson and Members of the Uganda Electoral Commission @UgandaEC
Justice Byabakama,
On 17th January 2026, you orally declared the final results of the 2026 Uganda Presidential Elections.
Article 61(d) of the Constitution of Uganda requires the Electoral Commission to ascertain, publish and declare in writing under its seal the results of the elections. Announcements made through public media do not satisfy this Constitutional requirement.
This requirement must be read together with Article 1 of the Constitution, which vests sovereignty in the people of Uganda and mandates that all authority be exercised in their name and for their benefit.
I have checked the official Electoral Commission website https://t.co/BFOmumRpZR and the https://t.co/yA9BEB2fcT which publishes the Uganda Gazette and have not found any publication of the 2026 Presidential Election results.
As the body entrusted with the responsibility and which conducted these elections, the Electoral Commission is required to provide the people of Uganda with clear answers to the following questions:
1. How did the Electoral Commission ensure there was no ballot stuffing and multiple voting in light of the nationwide failure of the biometric machines?
2. What steps has the Electoral Commission taken to address videos online showing its officials, members of security forces, and other civillians ticking multiple ballots and/or stuffing multiple ballots at different polling stations or at other venues?
3. How did the Electoral Commission ascertain the results of the Presidential Elections within 48 hours in the absence of duly signed and transmitted Declaration of Results (DR) Forms from each polling station?
4. How were the Presidential Election results transmitted to the National Tallying Centre during the nationwide internet shutdown, and what verifiable audit trail exists to demonstrate the integrity, chain of custody, and authenticity of those results?
5. Has the Electoral Commission published the 2026 Uganda Presidential Election results for each polling station?
6. If so, where has the Electoral Commission published these results and when was that publication made?
7. If the publication of these results has not been made, why has the Electoral Commission not complied with this clear mandatory Constitutional requirement, 10 days after your announcement? Such a publication would also enable Ugandan citizens who wish to access these results, to do so.
8. What steps is the Electoral Commission taking to recover the 69 million United States Dollars of taxpayers’ money expended on non-functioning biometric machines, including any civil recovery actions against suppliers and Electoral Commission officials involved in the procurement, approval and testing of this equipment prior to their dispatch to the respective polling stations?
I am asking these questions as a citizen of Uganda and taking into account that the Electoral Commission bears a positive and continuing duty under our Constitution to conduct elections that are not only free and fair but which are also transparent and verifiable through the results declared.
Where access to information has been restricted as was the case with the nationwide internet shutdown, the obligation to provide verifiable quantitative and qualitative data rests squarely with the Electoral Commission as the declaring authority. Transparency in such circumstances is not discretionary. It is a constitutional obligation.
The burden to prove compliance with its constitutional obligations rests with the Electoral Commission and not with the candidates who contested in the elections, the Ugandans who voted, those who opted not to vote, or those who were rendered unable to vote.
Elections belong to the people, not to those who administer them.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY
Justice Dr. Esther Kitimbo Kisaakye.

Message to President Yoweri Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda
Mr. President @KagutaMuseveni ,
On the 15th of January 2026, you contested in the Ugandan presidential elections. On the 17th of January 2026, you were declared the winner of that election by the Electoral Commission.
Since that time, videos and recordings have continued to surface of you referring to those you contested against—and their supporters—as terrorists.
There have also been continued reports of army and police crackdowns on civilians, particularly in the central region that voted more heavily for opposition candidates than for you and the NRM party.
One of the candidates you contested against, Robert Kyagulanyi, has had his home under siege since the day of the elections and has been forced into hiding for his safety to date.
On the 23rd of January 2026, his home was again attacked at night by masked armed individuals—some in army and police uniforms and others in civilian clothing. Accounts shared on social media by Barbie Kyagulanyi describe unauthorized entry, threats and assaults on her and their household staff, destruction of property, and theft of phones, electronic devices, CCTV equipment etc.
Another opposition Member of Parliament, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi, a Vice President of the National Unity Platform (NUP) for the Central Region, has been charged with terrorism for allegedly attacking a police station. These charges contradict earlier reports indicating that his home was attacked on election night by armed men in uniform, resulting in the deaths of 10 people.
Two other Vice Presidents of NUP—Dr. Lina Zedriga (Northern Uganda) and Jolly Tukamushaba (Western Uganda)—have also been reported on social media as having been abducted. Their whereabouts remain unknown to date.
Another key opposition leader, Dr. Kizza Besigye, is in unlawful detention. He has been reported to be in poor health and denied access to his doctors.
A Catholic priest, Father Ssekabira, is in prison, among other reasons, for associating with Robert Kyagulanyi, an opposition leader.
Civil society organizations have been de-licensed.
Activists such as Sarah Birete are in prison on questionable charges.
Many other Ugandan citizens are missing or in unlawful detention for their political views or for supporting opposition candidates.
Mr. President, you are the President of Uganda and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Your son is the Chief of the Defence Forces.
Can all of the above be happening without your knowledge or consent?
If you did not authorize or consent to the above actions, what steps have you taken to restore discipline and legality within the army and police, especially when they operate under your direct authority?
You campaigned on the theme of protecting the gains. As a citizen, I ask: what does that mean in practice?
Does it mean placing opponents under siege, arresting them, labeling them terrorists, and imprisoning them for indefinite periods?
The Constitution of Uganda—enacted under your leadership—provides for multiparty democracy and allows candidates dissatisfied with election results to seek redress before the Supreme Court. When opposition leaders are hunted, their homes surrounded by armed men, and their parties terrorized, are those constitutional guarantees still meaningful?
This pattern did not begin in 2026. It has been ongoing against different political actors, with the latest targets being NUP leaders and supporters.
As a country Uganda, are we moving forward, or are we moving backwards?
If you genuinely won this election, why prevent opposition leaders from using lawful and constitutional means to challenge the election results if they wish to?
What peace is being protected when some sections of the population do not live in peace? Do we have one Uganda, or two?

The law change during 'Togikwatako' allowed M7 to run beyond the age limit, potentially compromising leadership quality. The original law ensured qualified candidates, but altering it for individual interests has led to unintended consequences.
JUST IN: A group of UPDF soldiers driving in 'drones' have raided Wakiso Police Division, beat and detained the district police commander, SP Esther Kiiza and other officers before firing bullets at her office, sources said Monday.

Cedric's death shines a spotlight on the systemic failures plaguing Uganda. The stark contrast btn the privileged few who receive top-notch medical care abroad and the ordinary citizens struggling to access basic healthcare is a harsh reality that can no longer be ignored.
