Robert Kyagulanyi, the National Unity Platform leader known as Bobi Wine, announced plans to generate 10 million jobs by 2032 if elected president in 2026. The presidential candidate presented his 89-page policy document on Monday at St. Gonzaga Kagoma Primary School in Jinja, outlining 11 priority areas for Uganda's development. The manifesto emphasizes restoring constitutional rule, eliminating corruption, and redirecting government spending toward health and education services. Key proposals include ending civilian trials in military courts, reducing cabinet size, and establishing a school feeding program to support students and farmers.
Kyagulanyi will campaign on Tuesday in Kamuli and Buyende districts, where President Yoweri Museveni maintains strong political support. The opposition leader secured most of the Busoga region in 2021 but lost ground in Buyende, which analysts attributed to limited campaign access and pandemic restrictions. The manifesto addresses gender equality, land rights, technology development, and diaspora engagement as part of broader reform efforts. Local officials from the ruling National Resistance Movement party are expected to mobilize opposition to the campaign in contested areas.
