It marked a major milestone in NUP\u2019s electoral mobilisation, signaling the party\u2019s growing influence in Eastern Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>In his keynote address, Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, delivered a blistering critique of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), condemning the government\u2019s failure to uphold justice, equality, and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mission before us is bigger than politics,\u201d Kyagulanyi declared. \u201cIt is about justice, equity, and restoring the dignity of our people. We must reject the politics of division, stop the cheap infighting, and unite around a shared dream of a better Uganda. We are not fighting individuals; we are dismantling a system that has failed our generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the new aspirants introduced was Emuk Benjamen who seeks to represent Bukedea County on the NUP flag in parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Emuk, a journalist-turned-public relations executive, has emerged as a rising voice for transformation in the Teso sub-region. Drawing from personal experience, he spoke passionately about the community\u2019s longstanding challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy interest in representing Bukedea County in Parliament is driven by purpose, passion, and a personal commitment to see my community rise beyond its limitations,\u201d Emuk stated.<\/p>\n<p>He recounted his grassroots engagement across Bukedea\u2019s farming villages, schools, and health centres, stressing that leadership should be about lived experience and commitment to service. \u201cI\u2019ve listened to farmers, mothers, teachers, and the youth. I understand their pain, but more importantly, I know their unrealised potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emuk holds a diploma in Journalism and Mass Communication from Kampala International University and previously worked with ChimPreports, Kampala Sqoop, and later in PR at Fireworks Advertising under Brainchild BCW Africa, where he managed major brands like Airtel Uganda and the MasterCard Foundation. His transition from media to politics, he said, is driven by a desire to move beyond storytelling to policy change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile others made politics their comfort zone, I made people my priority. Now, I want to do more than just report the issues\u2014I want to solve them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Kapelebyong County MP Julius Ocen was also unveiled as a returning NUP candidate, using the occasion to demand accountability over the long-delayed war compensation for victims of the LRA insurgency and cattle rustling in the Teso sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur people suffered. Their livestock was stolen, families displaced, land ravaged,\u201d Ocen said. \u201cGovernment promised compensation, but the process has been hijacked by regime agents. Real victims have been sidelined and silenced. We are demanding justice\u2014not selective payments, not ghost beneficiaries, but justice for the true claimants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch also introduced Mercy Marion Alupo as NUP\u2019s Woman MP aspirant for Bukedea District. Alupo delivered a rallying call for generational change, denouncing systemic corruption and oppression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t just about replacing faces\u2014it\u2019s about dismantling systems that have kept our people down,\u201d Alupo said. \u201cWe choose service over selfishness, truth over intimidation, and unity over tribalism. It\u2019s time to liberate Bukedea, Teso, and Uganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The day\u2019s events reflected a growing appetite for opposition voices in the Teso sub-region, a region where the ruling party has long held dominance. The presence of locally grounded, passionate leaders like Emuk and Alupo signals a new wave of political engagement rooted in community service and youth empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>NUP\u2019s strategy for the region is anchored on inclusive development, access to quality education and healthcare, agricultural transformation, and justice for war-affected populations. As the country looks ahead to the 2026 general elections, the party\u2019s leadership emphasised unity, grassroots mobilisation, and national renewal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time for change is now,\u201d Kyagulanyi said, echoing the day\u2019s most resounding message. \u201cUganda deserves better\u2014and we must be the ones to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Uganda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
