“Let’s negotiate your Peaceful exit, not political deals” Bobi Wine tells Museveni ahead of 2026 polls
As Uganda moves closer to the 2026 elections, National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has delivered a bold message to President Yoweri Museveni: it’s time to discuss his peaceful departure from power.
Speaking firmly, Bobi Wine made it clear that he is open to dialogue with Museveni, but only on one condition — negotiations must center on Museveni’s exit, not political deals or power-sharing arrangements.
His remarks serve as a direct challenge to Museveni, who has been in power for nearly four decades. Bobi Wine accused the government of using bribes and appointments to weaken the opposition, rather than fostering genuine democracy.
Bobi Wine’s comments come at a time when political tensions in Uganda are high. A growing number of young people are demanding change, and opposition groups are gaining momentum. Nevertheless, Museveni’s government remains deeply entrenched, often relying on election manipulation and suppression of dissent to maintain power.
Now, the question remains: will Museveni heed the call for peaceful negotiations, or will he continue to cling to power at all costs?
What is Museveni’s fate if he stays in power when things are against him?
