The presidential nomination of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has been rescheduled to Wednesday at 2:00 PM. The change follows concerns that the original timing coincided with the nomination of incumbent President Yoweri Museveni, potentially limiting Bobi Wine’s ability to hold planned rallies on the same day.
Bobi Wine expressed gratitude to supporters nationwide who submitted additional signatures to ensure his nomination could proceed without technical obstacles. “A big thank you to all people across the country who brought in extra signatures to ensure there were no excuses,” he said.
Despite the rescheduling, Bobi Wine and his team remain committed to the nomination process. Supporters continue to mobilize, demonstrating strong enthusiasm for the event. The rescheduled timing has not dampened public engagement, and attention is focused on maintaining high turnout.
The situation highlights some of the logistical and political challenges faced by opposition candidates in Uganda’s electoral process. Nevertheless, Bobi Wine has reaffirmed that the nomination will proceed as planned, with supporters united in their efforts to participate and show public backing.
