Bobi Wine suffers,

Before the presidential campaigns, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu commonly known as Bobi Wine had hard times in his life. First of his search for signatures was a hard nut to crack yet he needed them and however much he got them they were also taken by the military regime.

Coming up with a party also was a problem that the government wanted to use as a weapon to fight him nevertheless, he won that race and gained his party that he had registered.

Bobi Wine, fatefully faced a number of torture when the campaigns were launched in the pandemic. His opponents were allowed to campaign in anyway they wanted yet his were always described as “war” , a day gone was always full of tear gas, live bullets and torture that in turn led to loss of other’s lives like Frank Ssenteza, Ritah Nabukenya Priya, Ziggy Wine to mention but a few.

The worst of all was that he had no where to report, the concerned organ (Electoral commission) was neither helpful at all because it looked like it was under control by the government regime and nothing could be done nomatter the number of deaths and injuries that were caused by the military.

The leading opposition led by Bobi Wine almost won every soul in the country and the results if were truly delivered then the world would have witnessed a musician with only a microphone won a 78year old tyrant who has spent more than 30years in leadership.

The ending point was neither loved by the citizens nor the non citizens. And till now the world still asks what will be next after incumbent Yoweri Kaguta Museveni declared himself a winner in an election where there was internet black out.
