According to Lulume Bayiga, the Executive Chairperson of the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) party, since November 2020, and continuing throughout the 2026 electoral cycle, the JDP has recorded an ongoing pattern of state-linked abductions where some security agents in plain clothes or military attire, driving unmarked minibuses, have seized opposition supporters, campaign organizers, polling agents, and civic activists from streets and homes.
A section of opposition legislators has expressed their dissatisfaction with the sacking of only three top officials at Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), wondering why the two Ministers of Kampala, Minsa Kabanda and Kabuye Kyofatogabye, weren't also dismissed.
