It is now evident that the National Unity Platform (NUP) and the leader of it, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine will face more trouble ahead of the 2026 General Elections. The 2021 General Elections is long gone and the trying times are upon it.
The kidnappings and abductions aren’t ceasing. The NUP is facing trouble from within and usage of political leverage to appease the ones who can be bought. The journey men and the ones fleeing other parties are now seeking a new safety net ahead of the next polls.
There is no denying that the “Red Wave” and the People Power Movement was the strongest ahead of the 2021 election. Now it has stalled and the institutionalization of the NUP has stifled it’s tracks. As well as it has suffered the lack of resolve and measures from within. The leadership in Parliament and beyond are questioned. Not that the NUP has power, but it has little to show for it. That’s the problem it has as an opposition and lacking any majority to seal any sort of political victory. Neither has it been effective in stopping or demonstrating against the regime.
This week the old petition against the state in the Uganda Human Rights Commission for blocking him from performing as an artist and holding concerts. It has been withdrawn and the petitioner has stopped it, before the UHRC has worked upon it or even made it a significant case. We have seen this with the stalling tactics of the state in regard to Dr. Kizza Besigye. Therefore, Bobi Wine is just getting similar treatment to him…
There will be no safeguards or help from the authorities. The authorities and the state has him as a target, a threat and they fear his rise to popularity. That’s why the government friendly media targets him and his associates. The ones who are aligned or dares to challenge the status quo. They are the ones who are possible victims and not the ones who can be shielded from trouble.
The Bad Man from Kamwokya will not be met with law enforcement to seek a better tomorrow. No, they will find something on and pin him on the cross. They are there to ensure his demise and end. That’s what’s the goal is and that’s his been able to run away for so long. Is triggering the ones in authority, as his supposed to lose steam and not be able to promote his vision.
Bobi Wine is supposed to fail and make a briefcase party. The NUP was supposed to crash and burn. There was supposed cases against the constitution and how it was organized ahead of the 2021 elections, and some is trying to forge the same narrative ahead of the 2026 polls. They want to hurt and take away the party that is ushering in a new future for the Republic.
That’s why Bobi Wine can never sleep or rest. He has to be awake and ensure the ones around him is people he trusts. Because people will use him and possibly weaken his cause. They will target him and try to play mind games with him. That’s why he must be careful. Nothing is given to him and neither to the NUP party. It is by default and by codes of the state.
The regime has already targeted the red beret, activists, leaders and planned mobilization of the party. There is nothing given to Bobi Wine and his likes. That’s why allies are Court Martialled or possibly taken by drones. There is nothing the state aren’t willing to do to incite fear. That’s why the NUP will continue to fight with their hands tied. While the state and authorities will belittle every move, because that’s what they do. Peace.
