At the end of the day, Bobi Wine has to call Article 29
February 17, 2021 Bobi Wine leading his supporters in a run
Bobi Wine and team should beware – or at least, have it at the back of their mind – that they are actually seated in Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere’s 1980 spot right now.
While the country was ready for a full-blown military struggle, Ssemogerere sat back, offering rather hazy alternatives to his voters. Whatever his justification, the events that followed gave us the most rejected candidate of the 1980 election. The fellow who came last, read the moment well, didn’t go too far from the capital nor outside of Buganda – because political activity happens here – and has been with us for the last 35 years.

The recent shutdown of Internet by the government for five days during the presidential and parliament election greatly affected the voter digital campaigns and mobilization, the Citizens Coalition for Electoral Democracy in Uganda (CCEDU) has said.
Ms Charity Ahimbisibwe, the executive director of CCEDU, said most youth who are more than 65 per cent of Uganda’s population engage mostly on social media using different social media platforms, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram.
“It is unfortunate that most youth who mainly use the internet for communication, and scores of others were greatly affected by the shutdown of the internet,” she said.

Summary
Petition. In 20016, presidential candidate Amama Mbabazi also filed a presidential petition challenging Museveni’s victory but the court dismissed his petition for lack of sufficient evidence to prove election fraud.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has said he will challenge President Museveni’s election in court and that he is compiling evidence to support his petition.
Mr Kyagulanyi told Daily Monitor in an exclusive interview on Saturday night that despite the Internet shutdown by government, his team was able to gather good evidence to present before court to challenge the election results the Electoral Commission declared at the weekend.
