Ugandan pop star-turned-opposition figure Bobi Wine has alleged that he was assaulted, tasered, and subjected to teargas and pepper spray while campaigning against President Yoweri Museveni.

Wine, 43, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said the attacks occurred amid an increasingly tense campaign environment as the country heads toward Thursday’s presidential election. For the opposition leader, such confrontations are not unexpected, having built his political career on staunch resistance to what he describes as Museveni’s long-standing “dictatorship.”

Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986, faces Wine in what is the opposition leader’s second presidential bid. Although Wine is widely seen as an underdog against the entrenched incumbent, who came to power when Wine was just three years old, his campaign has galvanised millions of young and frustrated Ugandans seeking political change.

Through music, activism and grassroots mobilisation, Wine has positioned himself as the most significant challenge Museveni has faced in years. His rise comes at a sensitive time, with growing speculation that the 81-year-old president may be laying the groundwork for a future succession plan.

The reported violence against Wine has reignited concerns about political repression and the safety of opposition figures during Uganda’s election period.
