Bobi Mobilised People to Speak ill About me in my Constituency – Mpuuga
The national coordinator of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Mathias Mpuuga has accused Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, the president of the National Unity Platform (NUP), of rallying individuals to speak poorly of him.
Mpuuga, a former Leader of the Opposition (LoP), alleges that Kyagulanyi organized people for a month to disparage him in his constituency of Nyendo-Mukungwe municipality.
He made the remarks while speaking to NBS Television on Wednesday.
“The Hon. Bobi Wine all due respect to him, mobilised people for a month to go to my constituency to speak ill about me.” Mpuuga said.
He questioned why Kyagulanyi did not use the same effort to hold a rally against the Electoral Commission.
Mpuuga, who claims to have restrained himself from discussing certain matters and individuals, further accused his former party, NUP, of individually contacting MPs to portray him as a bad person.
“I have constrained myself a lot. If I spoke about certain things and individuals, you would be shocked. You would not know for example, how NUP would call MPs, one by one to educate them on how Mpuuga is a bad man.” Mpuuga said.
Mpuuga’s relationship with NUP soured last year after the party accused him of corruption for receiving a controversial Shs500 million as a “service award.”
This issue stemmed from a meeting held by the Parliamentary Commission on May 6, 2022, where Mpuuga and three other parliamentary commissioners reportedly divided a total of Shs1.7 billion among themselves as a service award, despite having served for less than a year.
Mpuuga allegedly received Shs500 million, while the other three commissioners each received Shs400 million.
This service award, which dominated headlines for months, led NUP leader Kyagulanyi to demand that Mpuuga apologize and resign from his position as Leader of the Opposition.
Since then, Mpuuga and Kyagulanyi have been at odds, with Mpuuga establishing his own civic organization, the DA, which many believe is aimed at countering NUP
President Yoweri Museveni has warned opposition parties, especially the National Unity Platform (NUP), ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Speaking in Greater Luwero about the Parish Development Model and Emyooga funds, Museveni said biometric voting will make the next elections fraud-proof.
Museveni claimed that NUP outshone the ruling NRM in Buganda in the previous election and closely rivaled them in Busoga due to what he called “election cheating.” He accused NUP of working hand-in-hand with the Electoral Commission to rig results. However, he added that the upcoming elections will be different.
“Don’t blame the people of Buganda and Busoga,” Museveni said.
“They weren’t the problem. We have proof of what the opposition did with the Electoral Commission. But this time, it won’t happen,” He added.
The president announced that biometric machines will be used in 2026, and fingerprints will be a must for anyone to vote. Without registration, you won’t be allowed near a ballot.
Museveni is confident this technology will guarantee a massive NRM win, saying it will eliminate any chance for cheating, from presidential races down to local by-elections like the recent one in Kawempe North.
