BOBI WINE

The People's President

Born in 1982 in Mpigi District and raised in the Kamwokya slum in Kampala, Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert, known worldwide as Bobi Wine, understands firsthand what it means to struggle, survive, and ultimately rise.

As the award-winning musician behind a generation-defining body of work, Bobi Wine used music as a mirror for Uganda's social and political realities, speaking truth to power when silence was the safer option. His music became the unofficial soundtrack of a generation demanding change.

In 2017, he won the Kyadondo East by-election as an independent candidate, defeating established political candidates from different political parties by a wide margin. His entry into formal politics was not a departure from his activist roots, it was an amplification of them.

"We are not just fighting for our generation. We are fighting for every Ugandan who deserves to live in dignity, security, and freedom."

He studied at Harvard Kennedy School's Leadership programme and holds a Bachelor of Laws from Cavendish University, Kampala.

11 Priorities For A New Uganda

A Uganda where every citizen has dignity, opportunity, and a voice in their own future.

PRIORITY 01

Freedom & Constitutionalism

Restore democracy, human rights, and gender equity. Reverse constitutional manipulation and free all political prisoners.

PRIORITY 02

End Corruption

Stop the UGX 10 trillion drained annually by corruption. Enforce accountability and cut wasteful government spending.

PRIORITY 03

National Unity

Rebuild war-torn communities, compensate victims of conflict, and eliminate ethnic sectarianism in public appointments.

PRIORITY 04

Public Services for All

Guarantee clean water, healthcare, education, energy, and infrastructure to every Ugandan — not just those near cities.

PRIORITY 05

Unemployment

Create jobs through tourism, manufacturing, sports, and the creative economy. Uganda's youth cannot wait any longer.

PRIORITY 06

School Feeding & Agriculture

National school feeding program to end hunger, improve education, and drive demand for Uganda's 80% arable land.

PRIORITY 07

Land Rights

Stop land grabbing. Only 30.7% of adults have secure tenure. Guarantee every Ugandan the right to their land.

PRIORITY 08

Real Devolution

Empower regional and local governance with real power and resources, so communities shape their own futures.

PRIORITY 09

Diaspora & Foreign Policy

Uganda's 2 million diaspora remit USD 1.57 billion annually. Position them as a strategic development asset.

Why Uganda Believes

Bobi Wine is not just a candidate — he is a movement. He represents the millions of young Ugandans who have never known democracy but refuse to accept that it is impossible.

As a journalist who has covered three elections, I have never seen this level of grassroots energy and organisational discipline. This campaign is unlike anything Uganda has seen before.

The manifesto speaks directly to the realities of the farmer, the market vendor, the nurse. It is the first policy platform I have read that feels written by someone who actually lives Uganda's challenges.
