In a shocking but revealing interview on Busoga One radio, NUP president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu admitted to having no intentions of wrestling power out of President Museveni’s hands.
Fresh from an overseas musical trip, Kyagulanyi, was on Sunday evening hosted on the Jinja-based Busoga One FM radio to respond to various issues relating to the opposition party’s strategy moving into the 2026 campaign season.
“I can not guarantee you that I am going to remove Museveni, I can not tell you that I will change Uganda…” said the musician cum politician to the shock of the listeners.
His statements come eight months after the NUP supremo, in August 2023, promised to end Museveni’s nearly four-decade grip on power in less than a month.
He and his strategists have since called for two unsuccessful demonstrations against Museveni’s government, the most recent being a “National shutdown” on January 8, 2024, which hardly attracted any traders.
His non-starter strategies notwithstanding, Kyagulanyi told the radio listeners that his content with what he has done so far and thus considers himself victorious.
“For me, not giving up is victory… I consider myself a winner because I have been persistent,” he said.
Kyagulanyi joined opposition politics in 2017 when he joined Parliament as Kyadondo East MP, and went on challenge Museveni in the 2021 presidential elections that left scores of opposition supporters dead, disappeared or jailed.
