RDC: Province du Sud-Kivu – Declaration des Mouvements des Wazalendo de l’Espace du Grand-Kivu en General et du Territoire de Mwenga en Particulier (30.09.2025)





“The High Court in Kampala has ruled that Hon. Jimmy Akena will not be nominated as the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) presidential candidate in the 2025/2026 elections. Justice Bernard Namanya held that presidential nominations closed on September 24th, and previous court rulings had already declared Akena ineligible for a third term as party president. However, the court stopped the Electoral Commission from enforcing its decision that UPC’s Executive Committee had expired, allowing the party to continue sponsoring candidates for other elective positions. This means UPC can still sponsor candidates for other positions (like MPs), but Akena himself cannot run for president” (Unity FM 97.7 Lira, 01.10.2025).
The Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) should be in a reckoning and be horrified about the High Court ruling. As it is finalized the run and the candidacy of James Akena as the Presidential Candidate. His now a lost duck and so is the party too.
The UPC needs to re-evaluate and hold meetings to look into how this all transpired. Because this is embarrassing and humiliating. It would be different if Akena chickened out like Mao. That would been another case and been better. In that regard, it would be better if he just said he would run as an MP again. Regardless, that wasn’t the case and now he has a major loss.
The UPC has lost their chance to be on the ballot and Akena has proven that he couldn’t fix it. The party and their leader has lost out now. The General Election of 2026 won’t have the UPC on the Presidential Ballot. The same happened last time around and it’s now two successive terms. That’s defeatism … and just a total utter failure.
The ones supporting UPC should ask the party “what gives” and “what it does” because this can’t be it. That it is losing out and making a fool out of itself. The leadership is sacrificing the party on its own behalf. Akena should ask the open question and the party should question his role in this. The UPC cannot be bound by one and his whims. No party should and the UPC should show the way. However, I wouldn’t count on it. We will see if there is any courage or any bold characters that will stand up and challenge the ones running the show. Because this is a flop and everyone can see it.
Akena should beg the party forgiveness and be okay that they look into how they got here. That’s all on him… Peace.






“Don’t accept being influenced and we will destroy the peace of Tanzania, the peace of our country, don’t accept it at all. They are influencing where they are going, I want to tell them that if something small happens, we will send them back to the airport, their passports have visas in their hands and they are already leaving, their families are not here, there are those who have come to cause chaos, if they are agitated, they should run and reunite with their families, where are we going?, it is here in Tanzania and that is why when they are agitated and run, we will send them back, if you are agitated, we are all here inside, not explode and then leave, no, so I ask my young people, my young children of Tanzania, don’t accept it at all. Go out and vote, go back home, I assure you of your safety, the security agencies are well organized” – President Samia Suluhu Hassan (01.10.2025)
This here is a statement, the word of the President isn’t shocking or insane. We are seeing how the regime is acting, and we shouldn’t be in awe. No, the Chama Cha Mapundzi (CCM) are ruthless and don’t mind using force. They have easily used the authorities and the government machinery against detractors, dissidents and opposition leaders.
So, when she utters words like these, it is clear that anyone should look over their shoulders. Especially, if you are a foreigner who is monitoring or even reporting from Tanzania. If there anyone who are there to speak and tell what is going on. We know the Police and the Authorities are arresting, detaining and silencing anyone who dares to challenge the status quo. Just a snide remark on social media or editorial, and you are endangering your own livelihood. Therefore, when the President speaks like this. We must listen!
CCM has shown their character and now the President is sending out a warning ahead of the polls. This is a signal and everyone should recognize that. President Samia Suluhu Hassan says the silent part out loud. She isn’t hiding it even.
She speaks of peace, but she is bringing violence. Just like she offers peace but is taking away the liberty of the people who dares to speak out. That’s the gist here. The foreigners should just remain silent and not speak. If they speak… then they can just be deported. Citizens are just in danger as the foreigners, they can easily get arrested, detained and be criminalized for talking about what they see. We know this, because we have seen it.
The President is already muffling the media, social media and journalists, the press and the ones posting online can already get in legal jeopardy. That’s what the CCM regime does. The President now she wants the foreign press and possible election observation missions to not say it or report on it. As they are just supposed to be there and be giddy on her behalf.
Seriously, this warning should be adhered too and should recognize it. As this set the standard and we know the CCM won’t have any foreign interference. The CCM won’t have internal interference either. That’s why it’s blocking their main challengers and parties, which just show how they are enforcing the laws and how they are acting towards others. Therefore, people should listen and take notice of it.
I wouldn’t count on it, but people should see the brutal fact. There is a reason why Tundu Lissu and several others are detained over their political affiliation. Therefore, we can see how the CCM operates and how easily they can pin crimes on others. Peace.
