Uganda sees more arrests as the election season heats up. The National Unity Platform reports over 100 supporters currently behind bars, with thousands more picked up since 2019. Party Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya remains hopeful despite these challenges. His team plans to launch a mobile app for tracking arrests as they happen across the country.
The government targets key party members to disrupt operations. Security heads like Eddie Mutwe disappear without warning, forcing leaders to focus on legal battles instead of campaign work. Rubongoya believes these actions show weakness, not strength, from the current regime. He urges citizens to vote despite growing fear and apathy among the public.
The party faces internal struggles, with some members publicly supporting President Museveni and his son. When asked about allegations of ticket-selling within party ranks, Rubongoya called for evidence. He stressed that nobody stands above party rules and guidelines. The secretary-general maintains that the party's core principle remains people power despite these challenges.
