2/2 We thank all comrades, here and in the diaspora, who contributed towards the victory of our brother Counsel Nalukoola. We also thank leaders in the party who did not just make financial contributions to our brother's campaign but also turned up physically at polling stations to supervise the process and protect the votes. Your efforts thwarted the regime’s attempts to rig yet another election in broad day light. We stand in solidarity with you our brothers and sisters from the media who were brutalized for covering this by-election. The regime’s violence against the press is unacceptable, and we condemn it in the strongest terms. We demand that all security personnel implicated in the gruesome attack on journalistic and comrades who participated in the election be held accountable. To the people of Uganda, let what happened in Kawempe North strengthen our resolve to fight for a better country. Let it remind us that despite the small wins along the way, our struggle for freedom and good governance is far from over. We must keep organizing, mobilizing, and resisting. We must emulate the people of Kawempe North who have showed us what a PROTEST VOTE means and requires us to do. They united, voted, and guarded their vote. If we replicate their example across other parts of the country, we can beat the dictator at his own game! Freedom is in sight!
