After years of walking different paths, Uganda’s opposition doyens: Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine of National Unity Platform (NUP) and veteran opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye have pledged to work together as they continue refining strategies of ousting president Yoweri Museveni.
During a meeting in Kampala on 2 August, the duo, together with other key opposition figures and political parties, made a pledge to work together. Previous attempts to bring the two figures together had failed. Besigye, who was Museveni’s main challenger in elections from 2000 to 2016, sat out of the 2021 election, giving Bobi Wine space to take on Museveni who has been in power since 1986.
