Former presidential candidate Mubarak Munyagwa has stirred controversy after claiming that Bobi Wine’s recent exit from the country was not случай but rather coordinated with Yoweri Museveni.
Speaking in an interview with a local television station, Munyagwa alleged that the move was part of a behind-the-scenes understanding between the two leaders.
“This is an insider job with a script. You can’t leave here without President Museveni’s knowledge. They must have had an agreement and Bobi Wine will return after the swearing-in of Museveni,” he said.
Munyagwa further suggested that Bobi Wine’s departure could not have happened without the awareness or approval of state authorities.
The remarks come shortly after the National Unity Platform president confirmed that he had left the country following nearly two months in hiding after the 2026 Ugandan General Elections.
Bobi Wine stated that his exit is temporary and aimed at engaging international allies before returning to continue his political struggle.
