We know that many of you fear to return home until things change. You fear because some of those who have come back, they have suffered the regime’s brutality. We know that Sam Mugumya had just returned to Uganda after spending years in a Congolese jail when he was abducted from. Mbarara several weeks ago. He remains missing to date. We know Robert Kayingo Lujja, a lawyer who was recently abducted from the airport, held incommunicado for a month, before being forced back into exile without even stepping foot in his home. And there are many other examples… But I tell you my friends; We’re fighting so that you can return home to your families in freedom and dignity. To be received with flowers, not handcuffs We fight so that in Uganda, your children can get the opportunities that you never got. That’s why we fight. To Gen Museveni: I know you don’t like to listen to young people, but atleast listen to your friend Gen. Kahinda Otafire. Uganda was here before you, and Uganda will remain long after you are gone. You don’t have to burn it down on your way out. The best guarantee for your legacy and for your security, and for what you and your people have earned in the last 40 years is to allow a peaceful and democratic transition. That opportunity is available and we are not a vengeful people. We still believe in peace, we believe in justice and we believe in reconciliation. All we want is a FREE AND FAIR ELECTION, no military violence, no police brutality. Let this be an election, not a military operation. Over the last five years, your regime has done everything to break our spirit; tried to silence us but we’re even louder. We are not giving up and you cannot defeat people who do not give up. Fellow Ugandans, I don’t need to tell you that the 2026 election is already not fair. You have seen Museveni’s son who is also head of the military promising to kill our people to guarantee 80% of the vote to his father. He also said that during these presidential campaigns, we will be forcefully guarded by his private militia, the SFC. The same SFC that is responsible for abducting and torturing our supporters. So, as we go for this campaign, it’s like walking into the valley of the shadow of death. But I say this to you comrades, fear no evil for the Almighty God is with us. We shall walk but not get tired, will suffer but we shall not die. It will be painful, but we shall win in the end. We shall reach in a New Uganda. A Uganda where you will move in town and not see guns on the streets. A Uganda where security will protect the people, not terrorize them. A Uganda where teachers, soldiers and health workers are paid decently and promptly. A Uganda where the farmer earns fair income for their produce. A uganda where traders do not suffocate under an exploitative tax regime. A Uganda where citizens can demonstrate on the streets about injustice and the response of the Government will be to listen to their grievances, not shooting them dead. A Uganda where jobs are not for the connected few, but for all those qualified and willing to work. A Uganda where leaders serve the people, and not the other way round. In the coming days, we shall unpack the details of that New Uganda in our Manifesto and we shall paint a clear picture of what Uganda will become, starting from January next year. But I can tell you my friends, that that New Uganda is possible in our lifetime. As the National Unity Platform, even with the little resources we have had in the last four and a half years, wehave already demonstrated that we are able to use less to achieve more. We have managed to acquire the biggest political party headquarters in Uganda. We launched the first Leadership School of its kind and we have groomed leaders at no cost to them; leaders that will uphold our values and offer leadership to the next generation. We have supported the families of political prisoners and missing comrades. 2/4

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of our dear comrade and friend, Marinos Alexandros. Marinos was abducted on 30th March 2022 in Mbuya, subjected to incredible torture and raped by regime thugs at CMI, Mbuya. Her crime? Playing Bobi Wine's music on loud speakers! When she came out and exposed the thugs, she started receiving calls threatening to kill her. Her house was raided in the night by rogues, but she was not there that night, having slept at a friend's home. This prompted her to seek refuge in Nairobi - Kenya. Even in Kenya, regime thugs attempted to abduct her, forcing her to leave Nairobi and go to the UNHCR camp where she could have some security. Out of the abduction and torture ordeal, Marinos contracted several diseases, including HIV/AIDS. Last year, she became very sick and started getting treatment while we supported her. Because of the loneliness and other conditions in the refuge camp, she returned to Uganda a few weeks back in order to get better treatment in the presence of her family. It is most unfortunate that we have lost her this morning at 1:30am. Marinos joins hundreds of other victims of the Museveni regime of blood and terror. Fight on, comrade! The struggle for freedom and democracy in Uganda is poorer without you, but the evil regime will never have the last laugh.

They wondered how a young party like ours would place Ssegirinya above known politicians. But I stood my ground and told them I would never overturn the voice of the people, which was very clear. As we stand here today, I am very proud that we have been vindicated. In fact, we were vindicated in the first few months of Ssegirinya in Parliament. He immediately embarked on serving the people of Kawempe North with dedication. He invested in healthcare, in economic empowerment, in community service- responsibilities that should ordinarily fall on the shoulders of a functional government. But as we all know, we have an absent government, so leaders have to step in. He visited the sick, the poor and the hungry. Ssegirinya was a true representation of what we stand for as People Power- being the voice for the common person. He spoke for the boda-bodas, the market people, the downtrodden. It is this attitude that earned him so many friends, and enemies alike. Before long, the regime conspired with some politicians whom he repeatedly told us about. They arrested him, tortured him, and eventually sent him to his early grave. Like I said at our headquarters the other day, Ssegirinya did not enjoy even one day of his tenure as an MP. He has spent all his time as an MP either in prison or in hospital, until he gave up the fight. I hope Gen. Museveni feels proud of what he did to Ssegirinya! For the two years he was in jail, we asked the regime to prosecute them. To produce any evidence that they participated in the killings in Masaka. But the regime did not produce that evidence because it was not there! As you all recall, some of the young men, who the regime paraded as witnesses against them, boldly told court that they were paraded by the regime and told to lie that it was Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana who sent them to kill people in Masaka. At a subsequent hearing, they attempted to speak but were silenced. The judge who allowed them speak the first time was transferred and another brought. They were repeatedly denied bail, even when Ssegirinya presented all evidence that his life was going away. Gen. Museveni came out on TV condemning the grant of bail, thereby intimidating the judges. But as they say, they can only walk on your back when you bend it. Even those judges who repeatedly denied them bail are as oppressive as Museveni who detained them. If you're a judge worth your salt, Museveni would rather deny you a promotion, than you send Ssegirinya to an early grave. You would rather flee to exile like Justice Esther Kisakye, than be used as a tool of oppression. That is why we celebrate Chief Justice Ben Kiwanuka who was killed for staying true to his judicial oath. What happened to Uganda? Where are those judges who can still stand to defend the Constitution? Therefore, Ssegirinya joins the long list of prominent and ordinary Ugandans murdered by the Museveni regime. Some are murdered openly, others secretly. Some are murdered very quickly, others face slow painful deaths. Some are murdered with bullets, others with poison. Maama Ssegirinya joins the many parents who are grieving- their children murdered by the Museveni regime! You all saw her video leading a lone protest at Parliament, not once or twice. She came weeping, saying that her son's life was going away. But the regime did not care! Ssegirinya's children join the very long list of children orphaned by Museveni’s regime of blood. The prayers these little children will make every day before they sleep, will never let him have peace. The other day, while Museveni’s son was tweeting very shameful things on Twitter, a priest called me and asked me, "With all the atrocities he has committed, why are you surprised that God has chosen to punish him that way?" He told me that the tears, pain, and prayers of the orphaned children and the widowed mothers will always haunt Museveni and his family until they repent. 2/3
