The actions and statements of Opposition leaders Kizza Besigye and Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, indicate a marked difference in how they view the role of foreign powers in the conduct of the struggle against President Museveni’s government in which the two are involved.
The sharp differences between the approaches of the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Kyagulanyi and former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party president Besigye, was evident on Thursday when Mr Kyagulanyi hosted the European Union (EU) Delegation to Uganda.

Summary
On Monday, National Unity Platform’s (NUP) Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, who came second in the January 14 presidential poll, filed in the Supreme Court a petition challenging President Museveni’s victory. Derrick Kiyonga and Joel Mukisa compare Mr Kyagulanyi’s petition with the failed 2016 petition which was filed by former prime minister Amama Mbabazi.
Use of civil servants
In his petition, Mr Mbabazi sought annulment of Mr Museveni’s election on grounds that he had used civil servants such as Jennifer Musisi, then executive director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), and Ms Allen Kagina the executive director of Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) when the President was campaigning in the western district of Kanungu, which he said is against the law.

Independent presidential candidate John Katumba showed up at the Electoral Commission (EC) headquarters for an unscheduled meeting with the commission chief, Justice Simon Byabakama.
The EC chief had earlier summoned FDC presidential candidate Patrick Oboi Amuriat, aka POA, and his National Unity Platform counterpart Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, for a meeting over the duo’s continued flouting of Covid-19 SOPs on the campaign trails.
Bobi and POA snubbed the meeting, with FDC in particular flavouring the otherwise volatile campaigns by offering to only be available for any such meeting on Christmas Day.
