Uganda’s opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi is scheduled to proclaim his next course of action following a defeat in the recently concluded Presidential polls.

Bobi Wine as he is commonly identified remains held at his palatial residence in Magere on claims that he is planning anarchy as a move to protest the Presidential election results.

Bobi Wine issued a statement in his Facebook page that he will address Ugandans on Friday evening.

As the Electoral Commission released preliminary results before final announcement, Bobi Wine asked his supporters to reject them citing massive rigging.

However, EC chairman Simon Byabakama challenged him to provide facts.

His supporters have been waiting for Bobi Wine’s next move after media reports suggested that he would not seek Court redress.

But the NUP presidential candidate didn’t disclose the subject of his Friday evening communication.

Museveni won 58.6 percent of the vote, with Bobi Wine runner-up with 34.8 percent, according to the electoral commission, which put turnout at 57.2 percent.

Police administration said Bobi Wine will only be allowed free movement if he denounces violence.

On Thursday he met a group of 8 lawyers led by Hon Asuman Basalirwa who were allowed to access his home.

They carried food for him.

Several Human Rights bodies have expressed concerns of Bobi Wine’s detention, warning government that its actions could have political ramification.

Bobi Wine’s rival Yoweri Museveni on Thursday returned to capital Kampala in a heroic welcome by the party supporters who swarmed streets to cheer their elected President.

But opposition leaders wondered it was proper to rally masses in the middle of the pandemic. In his address on several stopovers along the way to Kampala, Museveni told his supporters to be mindful of Coronavirus which still exists in the country.
