The President of the National Unity Platform Robert Kyagulanyi has said that only mass demonstrations will end President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s nearly 40 years hold onto power.

Speaking to party supporters at the newly acquired headquarters at Makerere Kavule along Bombo road, Kyagulanyi said the 2021 general elections and the recent by-elections in Soroti, Kayunga, and Omoro have confirmed that elections were a wrong choice to end Museveni’s reign.

Kyagulanyi noted that since the end of the 2021 general election in which he was a presidential candidate for his party, he has traversed the world exposing Museveni but all this will be in vain if Ugandans don’t wake up and show their dissatisfaction.

He called upon all Ugandans not to rely on him to bring about change and urged the masses to mobilize themselves for change.

Earlier, Fred Nyanzi, the NUP National Secretary for Mobilization called upon Kyagulanyi to command his supporters to demonstrate against the government with a view of overthrowing it saying it would be foolhardy to wait for 2026 to challenge Museveni in another election which he said would be rigged.
