Uganda’s opposition figures Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, and Kizza Besigye will plan nationwide protests against the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
They said the government had not put in place measures to protect and revive the economy after the effects of the pandemic.
In a joint press conference, the two leaders said they will join forces to unseat President Yoweri Museveni.

Let’s welcome this and call upon all other political parties to join efforts too with them. I thank Dr Kizza Besigye for seeing that he should leave the young generation to take the lead this time. We need one candidate against President Museveni and he should be @HEBobiwine
