Police has been saying that @NUP_Ug supporters have been attacking them unprovoked. But looking at this video, it suggests that this Boda Boda rider is an NRM supporter. The only people the police clears the road like this for are either the President, his wife or his son.

In a presidential debate you want to hear each candidate's take on a particular issue. Asking different questions to each person denies us the chance to know another candidate's thoughts. Also giving chance to the audience to ask illogical questions was a waste of precious time.

Why would he even participate? He is not accountable to us the citizens. Like he said, he hunted his animal and we can't tell him how he eat it.
Our attention has been drawn to an advert circulating on social media from @ntvuganda, purporting to organise a Presidential Debate for the various aspirants and suggesting that the NRM Presidential Candidate will take part. For the record, the NRM only received the invitation

The talk about peaceful campaigns was just BS. But there is some light at the end of the tunnel. The place they fear the most is Buganda. Don't be ashamed to aggressively comb this region. Its the most consequential!
KAYUNGA | Here is the first video showing how police began firing teargas to disperse our supporters. President Kyagulanyi, @HEBobiwine, remained solid throughout. #ANewUgandaNow

Kiwedde, those who have been dodging debates, your President has set the stage! Mujje and we hear you articulate your vision for Uganda. Ugandans need to know about those aspiring to lead them.
I will be there to share our vision for a New Uganda and to challenge Dictator Museveni on whatever new lies he wants to tell the people of Uganda after 40 years of deception and failed promises. See you then! #FreeUgandaNow

Police has been accusing @NUP_Ug of provoking them and hence they deserve what happens to them. This indeed is great provocation!

Another unopposed NRM candidate in Bukedea district. This one achieved this by pressuring six of the 10 people who signed the nomination papers for the NUP candidate to withdraw them claiming they were forged. This today's NRM, there is no more pretense!

Mbu, you can barely express yourself in English. The boycott has helped you and some of your colleagues.
Kindly disregard this. Whereas debates are a good idea, I already made it clear that I would not be able to feature on this particular one. My engaging schedule was more of a priority than this TV appearance. My regrets. Have a blessed Sunday!

On this one, I disagree with you. Maybe they are biased against you. Maybe they have other ulterior motives, but I don't know you as a man who shies away from stating your position, even that which is unpopular...
To remove all doubt, I'm not attending the debate - for obvious reasons. I communicated that when I was contacted. I was surprised to see my picture on the flyer!🤔

National Council for Higher Education says, a Mature Age Entry Certificate is only valid for two years. Whether you are continuing with your studies or not, after two years, it's invalid and therefore, it can't equate it to A-Level and it doesn't consider semesters studied so far
To put this matter to rest, @MaleMabiriziHKK, NCHE equated Walukagga’s mature age entry to Advanced Level. Mature age entry doesn’t expire if someone acts on it by joining University which @SirWalukagga did. The law speaks of A-level or its equivalent.

The same party that has given us @DavidLRubongoya and @JoelSsenyonyi is the very one that is giving us "Omuyombi w'okumizigo. That's why he has to amplify, "woolaba Umbrella tickinga" otherwise why would anyone vote for him as an MP other than him belonging to NUP?
I will again remind you,when u go low, we go lower📌.Thank you Al Haji Mulyanyama

These days I watch him speak at campaign rallies and I see a very tired man who doesn't want to admit.
As Col. Kizza Besigye makes one year as a political prisoner, here is what his persecutors ought to know: (a) Col. Besigye is not the enemy, but Museveni's time machine. There are cures for all illnesses, but nothing for old age –– wc also presents with many fragilities.

@MuwangaMKivumbi @HEBobiwine Bobi Wine has not used this abusive language. It's okay to campaign for your candidates but don't abuse people. I have a candidate I support for MP he comes from another party; is my vote for Kyagulanyi also not needed?

This same @MuwangaMKivumbi is trying to draw a distinction between the support for Buganda and support for Kyagulanyi. In his thinking you can't be both. How does this help the candidacy of @HEBobiwine? I think this man is going too far to prove his loyalty and its dangerous!
I think @MuwangaMKivumbi is decampaigning @HEBobiwine. He is saying if you can't vote for all NUP candidates throughout the ballot, then you're stupid. So, does he mean to say people like me who are going to vote for Ssemujju Ibrahim Nganda shouldn't vote for Kyagulanyi?

I really don't understand why these politicians want to present this election as a taste between @HEBobiwine and Buganda Kingdom. Someone can actually be an ardent supporter of Buganda and Kyagulanyi at the same time. We are expending energy on matters we shouldn't.
Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi asked the political collapser, who uses Buganda as a tool for a sympathy vote: 'Which Muganda presidential candidate are you supporting if you are not supporting dictator Museveni?

I first broke this story of the kidnapping of @kizzabesigye1 from Kenya. I knew our leaders have no respect for law, but I didn't think one year later Besigye would be still be in prison. We have moved full circle.

Another source said he was destined to travel to Kenya with somebody but neither of the two can be traced and nothing has been heard from him.

https://t.co/zHffZfnGA2. When I first got this story on Nov/16th/2024, I couldn't believe it even when it came from a trusted source. I knew our government engages in lawlessness but I thought this was beyond what they can do. I was wrong! One year later Besigye is still in jail!
