JUST IN!! Bobi Wine Leads NUP Retreat in Gulu, Rallies Northern Uganda for Vote Protection
The National Unity Platform (NUP) has once again made a bold political move, holding a significant retreat in Gulu City for its leaders from Northern Uganda. The event has brought together party representatives from the Acholi, Lango, and Karamoja sub-regions, all united under one message resilience, unity, and the urgent need to protect the vote.
The retreat is expected to feature a key address from NUP party president, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine. His presence has energized the gathering, with many anticipating a powerful speech focusing on the challenges facing opposition supporters in Uganda today.
According to the event’s organizers, the retreat is not just about meetings and speeches it is about building strength and preparing for the hard road ahead. NUP leaders believe the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) has used state machinery to silence voices of change. They say many Ugandans have been threatened, arrested, or harassed simply for expressing support for the opposition.
Bobi Wine is expected to rally the regional leaders with a call for unity and courage, especially in protecting votes during upcoming elections. He has often accused the government of rigging elections, and he believes that grassroots organization and vigilance are key to stopping this. The retreat is focused on training leaders on how to mobilize communities, report irregularities, and ensure that the will of the people is respected.
The NUP team says it is committed to what they describe as the “liberation of Uganda.” They argue that the current government uses fear and force to hold on to power, and only a determined, peaceful movement can bring about lasting change. Despite the challenges they face, including arrests, torture, and censorshipthe party continues to grow its presence across the country, especially in areas where people feel neglected by the ruling party.
As the retreat continues, many Ugandans are watching closely. The northern region has long been a politically sensitive area, and NUP’s efforts to strengthen its base there could shift the national political landscape in future elections.
This retreat in Gulu is more than a meeting it is a message. A message that the fight for democracy is still alive, and that the people of Northern Uganda are ready to take their place in shaping Uganda’s political future.
