Uganda’s largest opposition party, the National Unity Platform (NUP), has embarked on a countrywide tour to raise grassroots support. It is an early programme by its leader Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine who still harbours ambition to unseat incumbent Yoweri Museveni ahead of the 2026 general elections.
And out of either, a change of tack or fear of censure from local and international human rights watchdogs, security forces have allowed Bobi Wine to go about his tour.
