@NUP_Ug @HEBobiwine @DavidLRubongoya @Parliament_Ug @JoelSsenyonyi @eddie_mutwe This is the journalism we love. Bold and specific without beating around the bush. You forgot to add that he was 'learning Runyankole' in the basement.

There was drama at Kiwangala Playground in Kisekka Sub-county, Lwengo District, on January 4, 2026, after Bukoto South MP, Dr Twaha Kagabo, who denounced the Opposition, was ejected from NRM Party campaign rally. Chaos ensued after Dr Kagabo, who joined Parliament in 2021 on the National Unity Platform ticket but defected to NRM, clashed with Hajj Muhammad Muyanja Mbabaali during a Buganda-for-Museveni campaign rally. The campaign is meant to boost support for President Yoweri K Museveni, who performed dismally in Buganda Sub-region during the 2021 bloody polls. The scuffle broke out when Mawogola West MP Anifa Kawooya took to the microphone to introduce Dr Kagabo, who is seeking re-election as an independent candidate after he lost in the NRM primaries. Mbabali is the NRM flag bearer seeking to unseat Dr Kagabo, a sworn member of Patriotic League Uganda (PLU) outfit led by President Yoweri K Museveni's son, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba who acts as Uganda's military chief. #MonitorUpdates #UgandaDecides2026 📹 Gertrude Mutyaba

In a new development, Mathias Mpuuga, the former Leader of Opposition in Parliament, has launched a new vicious assault on Bobi Wine, leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP). Mpuuga's vitriolic outburst comes on the heels of his unceremonious departure from his deputy president position at NUP, amid abuse of office and corruption. Furthermore, Mpuuga's omission of his significant roles and positions within NUP, including Leader of Opposition, deputy president, and parliamentary commissioner, has been seen as a glaring attempt to rewrite history after he claimed that he was the missing link of the party.
