Bobi Wine

Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has emerged as a new force in Uganda’s political arena leading a revolution dubbed ‘People Power’.

For three consecutive by-elections all the candidates the dancehall artiste rallies behind win the election with a huge margin.

He began with Rukungiri Woman by-election where he supported FDC candidate Betty Muzanira and she trounced her rival Winifred Matsiko.

Bobi Wine would later switch sides and in Bugiri Municipality polls, the ghetto president as he refers to himself announced he would canvass support for Asuman Basalirwa, the JEEMA president.
