National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has asked voters in Pallisa District andacross the country to join him in the struggle to cause change if they want a better future.
Addressing supporters at Kalaki playground on Tuesday, Mr Kyagulanyi said that Ugandans should take the General Election as a one-time opportunity to cause change by voting out Mr Museveni, who has been in power for 4 decades and plans to push his rule to 45 years in the January 2026 polls.
The musician turned politician claimed this could be the last General Election Ugandans participate in because Mr Museveni allegedly plans to again change the constitution to facilitate his life presidency project.
“I want us to use this last opportunity to elect the president because Mr Museveni has grown old and no longer has better ideas for Ugandans,” he added.
According to him, January 15, 2026, should be used as an opportunity by Ugandans to get a new Uganda, arguing that Mr Museveni has run out of ideas to move the country forward, given that corruption, impunity and human rights abuse have become rampant.
He also promised that once given the mandate to be the chief executive officer of the country, priority would be put in investing in strategic areas such as health services, better roads, better schools and improving the well-being of Ugandans.
He reiterated that his government would boost the remuneration, which would in turn improve the relationship and trust between security operatives and ordinary citizens, thus fostering lasting security.
Before his arrival, there was heavy security deployment across Pallisa town as hundreds of supporters jammed the main road leading to the main rally at Kalaki playground.
According to him, 40 years of Mr Museveni have left nothing but pain, economic frustration, poor education and human rights violations.
“All these have been happening because of the bad leadership under President Museveni. On January 15, 2026 Ugandans will be making a historical decision whether to remain under a dictatorial government or to a new government with hope of freedom and democracy,” he said.
He also claimed that the country is currently being governed by one family, citing examples of Mr Museveni’s family members and relatives in key government positions.
He said he would champion unity of all Ugandans across the country if voted into office, arguing that citizens have been disunited over the years on tribal, religious and economic lines with a wide gap of economic disparity which has disadvantaged vulnerable Ugandans who are the majority.
