BOBI WINE BREAKS RECORDS!! See Amount Of Billions NUP Has Collected In Just 48 Hours After Kickstarting Fundraising Campaign

The National Unity Platform (NUP), Uganda’s leading opposition party, has launched its national fundraising campaign with a resounding message of hope and unity—backed by an impressive wave of public support. In just two days, the party raised over Shs1.07 billion to fuel its preparations for the 2026 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

The announcement was made at a leadership graduation ceremony held at the party’s headquarters in Makerere-Kavule. Ronald Balimwezo Nsubuga, chairperson of the NUP fundraising committee, hailed the overwhelming response as a powerful signal that Ugandans are ready for change.

“On July 7, we kicked off our national fundraising drive under the ‘Next Generation Campaign,’” Balimwezo said. “On the first day alone, we raised Shs135.8 million in cash, Shs21 million in checks, and received pledges totaling Shs869.5 million—bringing our total to Shs1.026 billion.”

That momentum continued into day two, with an additional Shs21.2 million collected in cash and Shs19.7 million via mobile money, pushing the total to Shs1.07 billion.

The NUP has set an ambitious but attainable goal of Shs9 billion for the campaign, to be raised from both supporters within Uganda and the diaspora. But according to Balimwezo, the drive is about more than just money—it’s about building a people-powered movement. “From market vendors to professionals, from youth to elders—Ugandans are contributing whatever they can to support the cause,” he noted.

NUP Treasurer Benjamin Katana underscored the campaign’s commitment to transparency and ethical politics—values the party says sharply contrast with the ruling NRM’s practices. “In 2021, the NRM reportedly spent Shs900 billion on elections,” Katana stated. “Our target is just 1% of that. We don’t bribe voters or misuse public funds. We stand for honest, accountable leadership.”

Katana outlined how the funds will be used: fueling campaign vehicles, producing posters, supporting grassroots mobilization, and covering essential transport and logistical needs across the country.

The swift and enthusiastic response to NUP’s fundraising efforts demonstrates more than financial momentum—it reflects growing grassroots support and organizational strength. The party’s message appears to be resonating with Ugandans hungry for an alternative rooted in integrity and people-first politics.

“This is just the beginning,” Balimwezo declared. “The road ahead is long, but with unity and sacrifice, we shall overcome. Let’s keep the fire burning.”

With this powerful start, the NUP’s journey toward 2026 is off to an energized and hopeful beginning—driven not just by funds, but by the determination of a people seeking meaningful change.
