Auditor General Nancy Gathungu has flagged billions of taxpayers’ shillings sunk into mega stadium projects amid procurement irregularities, stalled works, and concerns over value for money. Audits also question unexplained cost inflation of about Sh10.85B in the 60,000-seater

Reports from Uganda indicate that the home of NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) is under military siege as provisional results are announced. NUP officials say security forces have surrounded his residence, while the party’s treasurer, Benjamin Katana,

As Uganda heads into its elections under the cloud of internet shutdowns, media restrictions, and overt voter intimidation, the very pillars of democracy are being tested in real time. The unfolding events under #UgandaDecides2026 reveal how fragile democratic institutions become

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @TIKenya @ngoforum Politics shifts from competition to containment. At that point, leaders don’t need to win citizens over—they need to manage them. Citizens’ interests then become secondary, not always by intent, but by design.#DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaElections @Maskani254

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @TIKenya @ngoforum A nation’s true “gains” should be defined by its people, not guarded by those in power. Elections that offer stability without accountability risk turning democracy into a tool for self-preservation, not public choice. #UgVotes2026 #DemocracyOnTrial

@Maskani254 Trust is rebuilt only when delays are explained, rectified, and prevented in the future, and when voters see that their participation actually affects outcomes.#DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026 @Maskani254 @isscheli07

The #UgandaDecides2026 should be trending with pride, a people’s resolve and the start of a new era defined by free, fair, and transparent elections. Sadly, it’s a whimper. The people’s voice is drowned out by boots and gun barrels, by internet and electricity cuts. Instead of

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @thekhrc @TISAKenya @TIKenya @ngoforum When competition is blocked, dissent crushed, and candidates run unopposed, elections lose meaning. If choice is replaced by coercion, is this democratic rule or its shadow? #UgVotes2026 #DemocracyOnTrial

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @thekhrc @TISAKenya @TIKenya @ngoforum Uganda’s youth demand jobs, education, and dignity, yet face militarized polling, suppressed protests, and unopposed incumbents. Democracy is hollow when power is enforced by fear, not earned through consent. #DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026 #blackout #UGDecides2026

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @TIKenya @thekhrc @ngoforum Democracy demands competition, debate, and consent not intimidation and command. #DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @TIKenya @thekhrc @ngoforum The heavy deployment of military and police during Uganda’s elections exposes a dangerous truth: many states now rule through force, not consent. #DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @TIKenya @thekhrc @ngoforum A true election requires an environment free of threat. But with internet shutdowns and military checkpoints, Ugandans are being asked to choose in a vacuum of fear. We stand with those who still dare to cast their vote despite the intimidation. ✊ #DemocracyOnTrial

@Maskani254 Women make up the majority of Uganda’s voters, but elections remain dominated by incumbency and intimidation.If votes don’t translate into influence, whose interests are democracy really serving?#DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026

@Maskani254 Registering to vote is one thing. Having that vote count is another. When entrenched leadership suppresses competition,the women who dominate the register may still be politically invisible.#DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026

@Maskani254 @NUP_Ug @kawive @TISAKenya @TIKenya @ngoforum @thekhrc @SEATINIUGANDA @nisisikenya When opposition leaders are abducted, arrested, or intimidated, the electorate is effectively coerced: citizens are no longer choosing candidates freely, they are being forced to navigate a system where dissent carries personal risk.#DemocracyOnTrial

@Maskani254 @kawive @UNHumanRights @Pawa254 @TISAKenya @thekhrc @theelephantinfo @ElectionsWatch_ Excessive force, using live ammunition, teargas & arbitrary arrests is what the by police and military targeting Opposition supporters, journalists, youth or democratic citizens is what @KagutaMuseveni wanted by shutting down Internet. #DemocracyOnTrial in 🇺🇬 and East Africa

@Maskani254 #DemocracyOnTrial Persistent or widespread uncontested elections are a warning sign, suggesting democracy is sliding toward managed consent rather than popular rule.@Maskani254 @faithchepkuruii

@Maskani254 @kawive @nisisikenya @TISAKenya @TIKenya @thekhrc @ngoforum Ugandans can reclaim their future by rebuilding collective power: protecting civic space, strengthening independent media, organizing at community and labor levels, using courts strategically, and forging regional solidarity. #DemocracyOnTrial #UgandaDecides2026

@Maskani254 Biometric failure is not just technical; it is political because it affects who gets to vote and whose vote counts. In a restricted civic space, it risks becoming a tool of exclusion rather than protection.#DemocracyOnTrial

@Maskani254 No contest means no choice. And no choice means no democracy ,only procedure.#DemocracyOnTrial
