The President of the National Unity Platform (NUP), Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, has expressed his dissatisfaction towards the trial of Dr. Kizza Besigye in the military courts.

The National Unity Platform (NUP) has asked the government to unconditionally release all political prisoners.

Besigye has been seen arriving at the court martial in Makindye, Kampala on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, and is currently appearing before the prosecutor, Brig Gen Freeman Mugabe, the Chairman of the General Court Martial to be read his charges.

On November 18, 2020, the Joint Security Task Force in Busoga North arrested Robert Kyagulanyi and Pastor Andrew Muwanguzi ahead of their rally at the Ssaza Grounds, Luuka town council, in Luuka district, which sparked off protests in some parts of Buganda where, according to the Uganda Police report, 54 people were killed and dozens were injured.

The race constitutes six candidates, including Rose Kabagyeni from the National Resistance Movement (NRM), Salim Sultana representing the National Unity Platform (NUP), and Grace Akifeza Ngabirano as an independent. Aisha Cyimpaye will carry the People's Progressive Party (PPP) flag, while Juliet Musanase is representing the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and Mable Ingabire for the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC).

From Kamuli, Kyagulanyi and team proceeded to Abim in Northern Uganda on November 7, 2024, and are expected to be in Soroti on Friday, November 8, 2024. After eastern Uganda, Kyagulanyi will visit Kisoro district in southwestern Uganda.

The criticisms show the extent to which politics has seeped through the church and corrupted its values.
