National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, is expected to campaign today in the Karamoja sub-region, with scheduled rallies in the districts of Amudat, Moroto and Napak.<\/p>\n
According to NUP officials, the visit is part of Kyagulanyi’s ongoing nationwide campaign tour aimed at mobilising support ahead of the elections.<\/p>\n
Speaking to this publication, Ernest Ayen, the NUP Regional Coordinator for Karamoja, said the party has carried out massive mobilisation across the three districts to ensure a successful campaign.<\/p>\n
“We have mobilised our supporters in Amudat, Moroto and Napak, and we are ready to receive our presidential candidate,” Ayen said.<\/p>\n
He called on security forces to remain impartial and allow the campaign activities to proceed without obstruction, emphasising the need for a peaceful and fair political environment.<\/p>\n
“We appeal to the security agencies to be neutral and allow us to campaign freely, as provided for by the law,” he added.<\/p>\n
Today’s rallies will mark the second leg of Bobi Wine’s campaign tour in Karamoja. During his first visit to the sub-region, Kyagulanyi campaigned in the districts of Abim, Kotido, Kaabong and Karenga.<\/p>\n
NUP leaders say the party is seeking to address key issues affecting the Karamoja sub-region, including insecurity, poverty, infrastructure and service delivery, as they engage residents during the campaign trail.<\/p>\n
Karamoja has increasingly become a focal point for presidential candidates, with leaders making efforts to reach voters in the historically marginalised region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, is expected to campaign today…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[63,83,265,321,262,268,96,261,264,263,266,153],"class_list":{"0":"post-7916","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uganda","8":"tag-africa","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-current-events","11":"tag-east-africa","12":"tag-economy","13":"tag-governance","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-politics","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-trade","18":"tag-travel","19":"tag-uganda"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
