“Robert Kasibante of the National Peasants Party (NPP) has filed an election petition in the Supreme Court challenging Yoweri Museveni’s victory. Kasibante finished 6th in the presidential race with 33,440 votes, representing 0.30% of the total vote” (Patro Uganda, 19.01.2026).
The living legend, the former National Resistance Movement (NRM) member and the brother who tried to stand as a Member of Parliament candidate Busujju Constituency in Mityana district. He had the poster and everything ready to stand and be the flagbearer ahead of the 2026 General Elections.
Alas, here we are after the 15th of January 2026 General Elections are done and dusted. This man wants to bring the most flawed petition and weak tea document. Just to test the General Elections and petition the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, this man will just following coordinated efforts and be in the ear of the regime anyway. His just serving his purpose and being a pawn. Not like he had any chance or was there to win. He couldn’t even get the popularity to become an MP. So, why do you think he would have anything to offer the whole Republic?
This petition will be useless, just like the one that was put forward after the 2021 General Elections. We can also remember the one that was challenged by Amama Mbabazi after 2016. It is just a procedure and done to legitimize the polls. That’s why the regime needs a useful idiot and a fool to petition the courts. The courts will then serve the interest of the Head of State and his selected minions. That’s why Kasibante will file this petition.
Kasibante won’t redeem the nation or be able to challenge the elections. No, he will just be hot-air and a willing soul to stand. His not a person who has the machinery or have the collected evidence to nullify the elections.
Robert Kasibante was a NRM member just a hot minute ago. His one of them and was only a useless pawn for them. He did his duty and possibly should collect his currency for his services. However, don’t expect magic, because there is none.
Kasibante should just return to his ordinary day-job and go back into irrelevancy. The National Peasants Party (NPP) is a briefcase party, and it is proven. There is no way he will be able to succeed or have the gravitas to get a positive result in the Supreme Court. It is just a move to further legitimize it and ensure the NRM is iron-tight legally. There won’t be any question, and every avenue has been tested. That’s why Kasibante does this and he serves the interests of His Excellency. Therefore, don’t believe in it or think it will do anything.
Just like ticking him on the ballot was a waste of time. This petition is even more waste of time and won’t serve anyone. Except one fella will be paid for being his attorney and pushing the case to court. However, it won’t be well received or be sincere. No, it is more forgery and illicit activity, as they have one guy willing to do it.
Don’t be fooled. Be advised and I beg to move. Peace.
