National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi, widely known as Bobi Wine, was on Wednesday officially nominated to contest in Uganda’s 2026 general elections.

Kyagulanyi’s nomination makes him one of the opposition candidates set to challenge long-serving President Yoweri Museveni, who is seeking another term in office.

This marks Kyagulanyi’s second presidential bid, following his 2021 run where he emerged as the main challenger to Museveni.

Speaking after his nomination, Kyagulanyi reiterated his commitment to political change and improving governance across the country.
