BOBI WINE

We join the world in congratulating the people of the United States of America for successfully going through a democratic process in which they elected leaders at various levels. We congratulate President-elect @realDonaldTrump on his election victory and wish him a successful term. The USA remains a vital partner to Uganda in many areas. During President Trump's first term, sanctions were imposed on numerous regime officials involved in corruption and human rights violations in Uganda. The Trump Administration also condemned the rigging of the 2021 election, and denied Gen. Museveni the legitimacy he so much wanted before the international community. These accountability measures have continued and even expanded under President @JoeBiden’s administration. For this we are very grateful. We shall be looking forward to continued partnership as we labor to build a free, democratic and just society. We also congratulate Vice President @KamalaHarris for running an outstanding campaign. We appreciate her for being true to the cherished democratic values and committing to a peaceful transfer of power to the new government - a dream that continues to elude us in Uganda and indeed many countries on the African continent.
