To you friends in the @UPDFspokespersn,@PoliceUg etc-patriotism is not believing in a particular administration,it is for instance not about supporting or believing in Museveni &protecting his personality. It’s about fighting for your country& dignity-protecting the #Constitution

Such actions of security forces when characterized by a lack of accountability, are recognized internationally as IMPUNITY. This absence of consequence for wrongdoing is a grave concern within international law & will surely be punished someday. @IntlCrimCourt @robertamsterdam

This escalating situation raises serious questions about the integrity of the electoral process.Western partners need to examine this as the safety of citizens is at stake.The world must call it out before this gets worse.@SecRubio @10DowningStreet @SenateForeign @StateDept

As expected, the election campaign in Uganda has unfortunately turned into a murder scene & the death toll has started. The all-too-familiar, recurring violence generated by state security forces against the main opposition is back. It's the same playback.

But who will ever hold the Uganda security forces accountable? See what they are doing to people gathered legally at a presidential election political rally! This is total impunity & the world needs to call it out. It's not democracy! @SenateGOP @SenWarren @FCDOGovUK @SecRubio
Here is what the criminal police did to us at our final rally in Bbaale constituency, Kayunga District. They fired projectiles of tear gas at our rally venue! Shame on the regime 😡! #FreeUgandaNow

On a lighter note, I must say that Ugandan Arsenal fans are eagerly anticipating the @Arsenal -@FCBayernEN encounter tonight. Here's their version of @BukayoSaka87 - quite hilarious 😂 Naye Bannayuganda tetuggwayo!🤓

It is also crucial that those in power foster real meaningful & productive dialogues, rather than merely exhibiting power through coercive tactics; the "munaakolaki"(what will you do) bullies, who intimidate their political opponents viewing them as weak targets to fight back.

💯 but,to achieve this, Mamdani first needed to obtain executive-level access.He worked vehemently &using people power,secured a seat at the negotiating table. Now his perspective, along with those of many others, is being considered.
Zohran Mamdani had a very good meeting with President Trump and now Trump has moved to the position of supporting him implement his affordability agenda. Realignment is always taking place in politics and during the current election season in this country there have been

I appreciate how Mamdani's approach remains humbly & consistently focussed on AFFORDABILITY, enabling his constituents to reside affordably in one of the most expensive cities in the United States. He is such a gifted guy in my opinion.

Yes, you may proceed while individuals are out on bail, which is a right, as long as their guilt has not yet been proven. They require healthcare and medical aid, & I presume you would prefer to try healthy individuals on those politically motivated charges.
Fred Bamwine: The State is saying, ‘We have the evidence; let’s proceed.’ Meanwhile, the other side is focused on bail applications. #UgVotes2026 #NBSBarometer #NBSUpdates

The equalizer scored by Burkina Faso against the Uganda Cubs appeared to be offside. Why was this not challenged by the coach, & why was a VAR review not requested? @FIFAWorldCup @OfficialFUFA @fufatv1 #FIFAWCQ Who else agrees with me on this. #Baatubbye

I posit that President Museveni views a safe corridor as a strategic opportunity to advance national reconciliation. It appears he has a specific agenda he intends to pursue through his own methods. Tateesa! Even if his biggest fan threatens his plan, he will ditch them.
I wish we lived in a society where #SafeCorridor wasn’t a thing. But here we are; world over, they are needed. Winnie Byanyima is doing the right thing. Painfully. May Dr Besigye and Mr Kamulegeya regain their freedom soon.

Why should individuals be compelled to participate in debates they are disinclined to attend? Are voters exclusively present at those debates?
Why are @NUP_Ug candidates shunning debates?

NUP's "offense" in this context is its advocacy for national unity,a point you intentionally omit. As a journalist,i understand why you omit.I am aware that narratives can be manipulated for various objectives.While the general readership may not scrutinize your assertion,I will.

Bro, olimba olimba. Hon. Muwanga’s message is unequivocally aimed at Baganda political enthusiasts who hold tribalistic views, specifically referencing the @NUP_Ug’s endorsement of non-Baganda candidates in what are perceived as Buganda constituencies, particularly Kampala…
This man is daft. Buganda is a “majority, minority”. Even if they all bundled together to vote for Mr Kyagulanyi, the other regions would simply do the opposite. He might wanna look at the Kenyan example, going back to Kenyatta I.

First reading in ‘Slow Poison’ Prof.Mamdani elucidates how Museveni's approach diverges from Amin's nation-building efforts.While Amin’s aim was to forge a unified Black nation,Museveni has cleverly fragmented the various ethnic grps bringing back a form of colonial indirect rule

The @UgandaEC decision is fundamentally flawed &sets a wrong precedent,that anyone can be incentivized to retract their signature to enable one go unopposed. Qns; Was the expertise of a signature analyst considered in this evaluation? Can’t another party member nominate someone?

It also further consolidates his authority within a hybrid regime, presenting an appearance of political liberalization while, in reality, reinforcing authoritarian control.

This contradicts Museveni's desire to divide the country along tribal lines, ensuring that only his kinsmen take over key strategic positions of authority, including security, judiciary, etc. Such an approach ensures he maintains authority through patronage, violence & largess.

A notable achievement of @HEBobiwine's campaign so far, among many other successes, has been his ability to cultivate unity among Ugandans, fostering a sense of togetherness & emphasizing the importance of each region & tribe to the nation.

So,sometime back,internal affairs minister @otafiire_k mentioned Amos at the @ug_lawsociety event,right? Turns out, the Amos he was talking about is apparently the same guy these folks are saying is being held with over 150 political abductees at a torture center they were held.
