Tororo, Uganda — National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has called on Ugandans, especially the youth to unite in bringing an end to what he described as a “one-family rule” in the country. Speaking at a rally in Tororo, he promised a “New Uganda” built on equality, justice, and opportunity for all.
Bobi Wine challenged citizens to take personal responsibility for the country’s political transformation.
“Every one of you can be Bobi Wine. It’s not just me. Take it up, become the leader. Spread this message. Use your social media. Translate it into your local language. Help your grandmother and grandfather understand it. This is for all Ugandans.”
He strongly criticized the concentration of power within a single family, emphasizing the need for fair access to public services and national resources.
“It is high time we choose: do we want champagne for Oboth Oboth, or clean water for everyone? Should the children of Fox Odoi study in Kampala and represent you, or should we have quality schools for all? That’s what we aim to bring in the New Uganda, and you can make it happen.”
Bobi Wine outlined his vision for a united nation free from tribalism and religious discrimination.
“In the New Uganda, there will be no tribalism, no religious divisions. We are all Ugandans, and we must be equal before and under the law. This is the last time one family will rule over the country. Uganda is not a kingdom. Let us stop that, let us change it once and for all.”
He expressed optimism about the youth-led momentum for change sweeping across the country.
“I have good news. We’ve been all over the country, and the young people are excited. They are joining us. I’m calling upon you to join too, so we can build that New Uganda and celebrate it together. It is possible. Let’s make it happen. Let’s make history, our generation can change things.”
As chants of support echoed through the crowd, Bobi Wine left the stage with a final message: that Uganda’s future lies not in the hands of a few, but in the collective will of its people ‘especially its youth’ to reclaim their voice, their dignity, and their nation.
