– Ugandan pop star and presidential hopeful Bobi Wine says security forces raided his office Wednesday and confiscated documents, branding items, and cash amid what the opposition says is a campaign of harassment by the government. Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, told Reuters dozens of police and soldiers stormed the offices of his National Unity Platform (NUP) party in Kamwokya, a suburb of the Ugandan capital Kampala. Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, told Reuters dozens of police and soldiers barged into the offices of his National Unity Platform (NUP) party in Kamwokya, a suburb of the Ugandan capital Kampala. The security personnel, he said, seized documents containing signatures from supporters that his party had collected to back his nomination, as well as $6,207.83. Other items confiscated, he said, included promotional materials like red berets, posters, T-shirts, pens, and notebooks. An unspecified number of supporters had also been detained during the raid, he said. “This shows panic,” he said. “It’s the habit of (President Yoweri) Museveni and his regime to intimidate his most fierce opponent especially ahead of elections.” Wine aims to end Museveni’s 34 years atop the East Africa nation that have made him Africa’s third longest-ruling president. Elections are scheduled for February next year.
