Abstract

The article focuses on the recent arrests of officials from Uganda's main opposition party, the National Unity Platform (NUP), following the election that secured President Yoweri Museveni a seventh term. Muwanga Kivumbi, one of the party's deputy presidents, was arrested in connection with alleged political violence, marking the third high-profile detention since the election. The NUP claims that security forces killed at least 10 people during a raid on Kivumbi's home. Party leader Bobi Wine, who received nearly 25% of the vote, has been in hiding due to police and military actions against him and his supporters, while another opposition figure, Kizza Besigye, has been detained for over a year and is reportedly in poor health.
