“NUP Is A Depleted & Boring Party, I’m Waiting For Them To Surrender” Gen Muhoozi Fires Back At Bobi Wine
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, has once again sparked political controversy with pointed criticism of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, known as Bobi Wine, and his National Unity Platform (NUP) party.
In a recent post on Twitter, Gen Muhoozi claimed that NUP has lost its momentum and relevance, describing it as a “collapsed and boring party” that no longer inspires the youth.
“Kabobi’s party is depleted, uninspiring, and finished. I am just waiting for them to surrender,” he wrote.
He argued that NUP has failed to maintain the enthusiasm it once generated among young Ugandans, citing internal divisions and poor organization as key reasons for its decline. According to him, many former supporters have grown silent or disillusioned.
Political analysts suggest Muhoozi’s comments may be part of a broader strategy to position himself as a central figure in Uganda’s post-Museveni political future. Undermining the opposition, particularly NUP, could be a calculated step in that direction.
But NUP supporters have rejected Muhoozi’s remarks, asserting that their movement remains strong and determined.
“Let him wait. We’re not surrendering. Our fire is still burning,” a youth activist from the party told reporters, insisting that the apparent quiet is part of a larger plan—not a sign of defeat.
As Uganda moves closer to the 2026 general elections, the political climate is growing increasingly charged, with sharp rhetoric and intensifying rivalries between the ruling establishment and the opposition expected to continue.
