Supporters of Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, widely known as Bobi Wine, rallied in Kampala on Sunday, warning that they would defend their votes amid fears of rigging.<br /><br />Crowds waved Ugandan and US flags, chanted slogans, and held placards reading 'No gain without pain' while dancing near polling stations, as footage shows.<br /><br />During the rally, Kyagulanyi addressed the crowd directly, sharply criticising the Electoral Commission for controlling candidate nominations.<br /><br />"The Electoral Commission in Uganda is now choosing candidates for us. We presented our candidates, but they nominated different ones on our ticket. Shame on them," he said.<br /><br />"They said they are the ones who choose candidates for us. And as if that was not shameful enough, following the resounding defeat of 2021 - when we defeated almost seven senior officials, including the vice president and many other ministers - Museveni decided that his senior officials must not be contested," Kyagulanyi continued, accusing officials of shielding senior officials from competition.<br /><br />“Our leader stands for a new Uganda. When we finish voting, even just 20 metres away, we protect our vote. If anyone tries to steal it, we demand it,” a supporter said.<br /><br />Recent polls suggest President Yoweri Museveni remains ahead with roughly 45–55% of decided voters, while Kyagulanyi polls second with 30–40%, and other candidates trail in the single digits.<br /><br />Follow us on:<br />WhatsApp cutt.ly/WhatsAppCFM<br />https://twitter.com/capitalfmkenya/<br />https://www.facebook.com/capitalfmkenya<br />https://www.instagram.com/capitalfmkenya<br /><br />Subscribe to Capital FM News for More: https://goo.gl/um4AGk<br /><br />98.4 Capital FM<br />93.0 Western Kenya<br />98.5 Nakuru and Nyeri<br />104.5 Malindi<br />102.7 Garissa<br />103.9 Meru<br />106.5 Kitui<br />104.9 Voi<br /><br />#CapitalFmKenya
