The ones believing in the fairness and justness of the General Elections of 2026. Well, they better sit back and watch the show. It is all being served and the dish is served cold. The state, the authorities and everyone with a pulse should know the treacherous terrain we going into. The road to 2026 is going to get hectic and the Nomination Days this week is only the beginning.
Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine is doing this for his second time. His a second time Presidential Candidate and leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP). This time around the party has been under fire, leaders arrested and the inner-circle already poached before the Campaigning even started. So, the ones thinking NUP or Bobi Wine will have it easy. Well, these next few months will be a ride of plight, destruction and even murder. That’s what is coming, people will die and people will suffer. Just because Bobi Wine wants to hold rallies, speak at radios and be in the communities where he wants their votes.
Let’s be clear, the strategy is already there, the Uganda Police Force (UPF) have already blocked one rally and allowed another one. That is intentional. The state is already starting and telling what he can and cannot do. It doesn’t matter if the party follows the codes and notify in time. The authorities, the RDCs and others will stifle him in his tracks. Ensure the campaign is a constant war-zone and in a midst of a crisis. There won’t be a moment of grace or utter silence. No, there will only be more pain and suffering.
We all can see it coming, the tear-gas, the live-bullets, pre-emptive arrests and stray-bullets too. We will see anti-terrorist units moving (JAT), DIS, ISO and others using their means. The SFC who are now part off the Presidential Candidates security, which means the regime own prestigious military unit will participate too. That’s all compelling of what’s to come.
I don’t anticipate silence, but violence. State sponsored violence. There been so in every election and only gotten worse. The impunity and will to kill has only gone further. The extra judicial killings and abductions gotten a main-stay in politics. The regime doesn’t mind using intimidation, fear and force upon the dissidents. Therefore, this election will be horrific. There is no reason to be hopeful, as candidates and activists are already serving time or being detained indefinitely. So, we cannot act like everything will suddenly be fine.
Bobi Wine knows all this and still pushes ahead. There is nothing to win here. This election will be shady and shoddy affair in the name of legitimacy of Yoweri Tiburhurwa Kaguta Museveni. That’s who needs this election and needs to use it for his “democracy”. So, the old man has his democratic credentials and excuse to further his stay in office. There is no other reason for this election to happen. No, it is only a excuse and for arguments sake, but life will taken in the glory of Presidency for Life. That’s tragic, but that is how things goes.
It has not even started and Bobi Wine is blocked from one venue. The ones thinking it is “one off” well, just wait to he asks for places in the North, West and East. We know they will make it hard for him. The mountains are waiting and the journey is only starting. This is a false start, but what we could expect. There is nothing honest or sincere about it. This election is only a mockery and an attempt to make Museveni recognized. That’s it and everyone else is just for publicity.
Imagine being used for headlines and to give people hope. A false hope that won’t be fulfilled. Bobi Wine will taste the pain and see it for himself, yet again. It shouldn’t be this way, but this is how the NRM operates in 2025. Everyone would should know this and be advised. Peace.
