The National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, also known as Bobi Wine, has revealed that some opposition presidential candidates are fake.
Kyagulanyi said some of the opposition presidential candidates are fake and planted by the ruling government.
Earlier this week, the Electoral Commission cleared eight candidates to contest the 2026 presidential election.
The eight include: Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine (National Unity Platform – NUP), Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (National Resistance Movement – NRM), Elton Joseph Mabirizi (Conservative Party – CP), and Robert Kasibante (National Peasants Party – NPP).
Nathan Nandala Mafabi (Forum for Democratic Change – FDC), Mugisha Muntu (Alliance for National Transformation – ANT), Munyagwa Mubarak Sserunga (Common Man’s Party – CMP), and Bulira Frank Kabinga (Revolutionary People’s Party – RPP).
This final shortlist stands in stark contrast to the 220 individuals who picked nomination forms earlier this year, raising serious questions about accessibility, transparency, and the evolving architecture of political participation in the country.
