The Uganda Young Democrats, the youth wing of the Democratic Party which is led by Norbert Mao have endorsed Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi as their flag bearer in the 2021 presidential elections.
Addressing journalists in Kampala on Friday, the group’s Secretary General Robert Mugambwa also urged all political forces of change to unite for a common goal of ensuring peaceful transition.
“We believe that unity is the only option, so the Uganda Young Democrats congratulate the young people of Uganda for exerting pressure on the different players on the opposition,” he said.
He stated that Ugandans want to see a united opposition.
“So as the Uganda Young Democrats today we endorse honourable Kyagulanyi Robert as our presidential candidate. I repeat we endorse Honourable Kyagulanyi Robert as our presidential candidate in this forth coming elections.”
Bobi Wine’s rise in Uganda’s politics is the most exciting change in Uganda’s political landscape according to experts.
Bobi Wine entered active politics in 2017 and won the Kyadondo East by-election with a landslide victory. He is the face of “People Power”, a political movement of sorts, which has morphed into a force to reckon with.
Bobi Wine’s phenomenal rise has left established politicians both in government and opposition scampering for ways of containing him.
Bobi Wine has rapidly built up a following based largely on his message of power to the people and criticism of the Ugandan government.
