Uganda’s military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba denied that soldiers beat Bobi Wine’s wife Barbara Kyagulanyi during a raid on their home, even as Wine and Barbara described harassment and assault and the couple’s home being surrounded by security forces. The dispute unfolds amid post‑election tensions and ongoing arrests and threats against opposition supporters.
Barbara Kyagulanyi, wife of opposition leader Bobi Wine, said armed men in military uniforms stormed their home, assaulted her for refusing to unlock her phone, and she was hospitalized with bruises and anxiety. She pointed to Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba as responsible for the raid as Wine remains in hiding after a disputed election that Museveni won amid reports of harassment of supporters and ongoing security crackdowns.
Uganda re-elected Yoweri Museveni to a seventh term with about 72% of the vote, widening his margin over Bobi Wine amid security crackdowns and questions about health, while Museveni's camp promotes stability and oil-driven growth; analysts note a power shift within the NRM toward his inner circle and son Muhoozi Kainerugaba, signaling a gradual transition rather than abrupt change.
