‘Violent kidnapping’

Uganda is ready to hold a general election in January, with Museveni looking to expand his 40 -year rule. The final election in 2021 was married by security forces by widespread reports of irregularities and severe violence, which Museveni convicted “disciplinary” and “laziness”.
The US -based Holocost Memorial Museum recently warned of a possible “large -scale atrocities” around the 2026 election. On Sunday, the wine party, the National Unity Platform, stated that Matway was “violently kidnapped” by armed men, wearing uniforms associated with the command of special forces, an elite unit of Uganda’s army.
NUP said that heavy armed security forces had closed their headquarters in the capital Kampala before Friday’s raid. The opposition was planning to use the headquarters to start a campaign to urge the people of Uganda to vote against the government in the general election and protect its democratic rights.
Kainerugaba is notorious for its unfolded positions on X. Earlier this year, he threatened to drink alcohol and repeatedly spaded online. His comments have sometimes drawn Uganda in diplomatic spat. In 2022, Museveni was forced to apologize for the positions by his son that was a threat to Kenya’s invasion.
