Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja tells Bobi Wine to stop ‘playing comedy’ and return home, denying claims that security agencies are pursuing the NUP leader.

Newly elected Kampala Lord Mayor, Ronald Balimwezo, has ruled out any direct engagement with President Yoweri Museveni unless he first receives clearance from National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine).

Reports indicate that the marriage between businessman Solomon Kayemba and entrepreneur Farida Kuteesa has quietly come to an end.

Speaking on Monday morning, Balimwezo said he intends to work with all stakeholders to improve Kampala and steer the city in a new direction.

Minister Baryomunsi dismissed the claims, insisting that the opposition leader is not being pursued by any state security agency.

According to family sources, Bobi Wine allegedly left his home on 15 January and is currently in hiding due to what they describe as increased threats to his safety.

According to the Electoral Commission, Balimwezo polled 141,220 votes, defeating seven other candidates, including long-serving city leader Erias Lukwago, who has held the office for 15 years.

Kasita, who has previously worked with Mudra on several projects, said his writing skills and creativity set him apart from the rest.

Paul Lutamaguzi Semakula, has announced that he will no longer participate in any future elections as long as the NRM government remains in power.

Speaking in an interview with Sanyuka Television, Nsibambi expressed disappointment in the calibre of opposition MPs who swept several seats across Buganda.

Chief Magistrate Herbert Asiimwe said the decision was guided by public interest and the narrow margin between the two candidates.

Nina Roz finished third in the hotly contested election, which was won by Florence Nambazira of the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
