Kyagulanyi Calls for Democratic Reset as He Rallies Supporters in Omoro

Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has renewed his call for political change in Uganda, declaring that the country is “long overdue for a peaceful transition of power.” Addressing a large crowd at Opit Primary School playground in Opit Town Council, Omoro District, on Thursday, the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader criticized President Yoweri Museveni’s nearly four decades in office, saying his extended rule has stalled the nation’s democratic progress.

Kyagulanyi told supporters that Ugandans deserve a government that respects the will of the people and upholds democratic values. He argued that the challenges facing communities—from poverty to insecurity—stem from what he described as a leadership that has overstayed its mandate.

“Almost forty years in power is more than enough. Uganda needs a new beginning, and that begins with a peaceful change of leadership,” Kyagulanyi said, urging residents of Omoro and surrounding areas to remain hopeful and committed to democratic change.

The NUP president emphasized that transforming Uganda requires collective effort and civic engagement. He encouraged citizens to use their voices and votes to shape the country’s political future.

Kyagulanyi visit to Omoro is part of his broader mobilization efforts across the country, as he continues to push for reforms, accountability, and a transition away from what he calls entrenched authoritarian rule. Supporters at the rally expressed enthusiasm about his message, with many saying they were inspired by his commitment to challenge the status quo and advocate for a more inclusive and transparent government.

As Uganda moves closer to future electoral cycles, Kyagulanyi’s renewed activism signals heightened political momentum, setting the stage for what may become a pivotal period in the nation’s democratic journey.
