Vote Opposition in Hoima By-Election without fear, Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) Asked Voters
Kyadondo
East MP Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), who on Tuesday led the last campaign
rally for the Opposition candidate in the Hoima woman MP by-election, has urged
electorates to vote for Ms Asinansi Nyakato come September 26.
Mr Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine said the election has provided the people of
Bunyoro with an opportunity to express their interests nationally and
internationally.
“The whole world is looking at you. You cast your vote of
freedom without any fear. You are grandsons of Kabalega, a brave King who was
not timid,” said the singer-cum-politician.
He urged voters not to feel intimidated by police presence on grounds that they’re
“fellow Ugandans facing similar economic hardships just like the majority of
the citizens.”
“They are our fellow Ugandans. Don’t get angry with them. Let them not
intimidate you. In the previous by-elections we have had, they brought those
police trucks but we defeated them in Jinja, Bugiri, Rukungiri and Arua,” he
said.
Ms Nyakato, the joint opposition candidate in the by-elections asked the electorates to give her a protest vote.
While addressing her last campaign rally at Dwoli primary school, Nyakato said “the contest is between those who are well off and the poor.”
“This vote is between the oppressed and the oppressors. It is
between the people who are comfortable and those facing difficulties,” she
added.
She asked electorates to cast a protest vote in her favour.
“Give me a protest vote. You say no to oppression, land grabbing, poor service
delivery and being taken for granted,” Ms Nyakato said.
She said most health facilities in the district are poorly facilitated with no
drugs.
