“Museveni has betrayed the blood of our people”, said Bobi Wine

On Tuesday, Bobi Wine the Ugandan opposition leader called for peaceful demonstrations to oppose the poll results just days after he withdrew from the Supreme Court his election petition seeking to overturn President Museveni’s victory.

“Museveni has betrayed the blood of our people and done worse than the regimes he castigated for rigging elections,” Bobi Wine said while addressing journalists at the National Unity Platform (NUP) offices in Kampala.

“I call upon you to rise up peacefully and unarmed to demonstrate against the regime that has oppressed us, exploited us and turned us into slaves in our own country. We invite you to march to your respective district offices and seek answers,” he added.
