Prominent Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye has been reported missing, sparking widespread concern across Uganda and Kenya.
According to an exclusive report by the Daily Monitor Besigye was last seen at an apartment block on Riverside Drive, Nairobi, on Saturday evening.
He was visiting an unidentified individual at the location before vanishing under unclear circumstances.
Efforts by his family and close associates to contact him have been unsuccessful, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
It is unclear whether the family has formally filed a missing person report with the Kenyan or Ugandan authorities, fueling speculation over the delay in official investigations.
Besigye, a four-time Ugandan presidential candidate and staunch critic of President Yoweri Museveni, has a history of confrontation with authorities due to his outspoken activism for political reforms.
His presence in Kenya was reportedly linked to ongoing engagements with civil society groups and efforts to bolster regional democratic advocacy.
The disappearance has caused a stir in political and social circles, with many questioning whether foul play could be involved.
Besigye’s previous brushes with arrests and intimidation by authorities have heightened fears of potential politically motivated action.
His strong rhetoric on justice and human rights has often made him a polarizing figure in East African politics.
Authorities in both Uganda and Kenya have yet to release official statements, as calls for swift investigations grow.
Besigye’s family and supporters are urging both governments to cooperate in resolving the matter urgently.
