Bobi Wine has said it is now Ugandans to decide the next course of action after what has happened in Kayunga. Away from all the expectations, NUP has been declared second after NRM.
However, Bobi Wine says this is all the work of the commander in chief who has continued to rob the victory of the people.
“In broad daylight, Museveni robs the victory of the people, and declares his candidate in Kayunga! Despite the stuffing and all manner of rigging, the signed DR forms give us a 15,000 votes lead. Ugandans will have to decide the next course of action.”
The Secretary-General of NUP, David Lewis Rubongoya also expressed his disappointment saying the EC did the unthinkable.
“What the heck?! With all the results clearly in our favor, they just did the unthinkable. Time to THINK”
Most of the NUP supporters are obviously on the side of their party. They say they will be forced to fight because elections can no longer decide for them.
“The facial expression of the returning officer could tell that she was on orders and if you critically look at the figures you see that they were manipulated so I think NUP can challenge it in court but we must be now forced to fight if elections can no longer decide for us,” a one Nyenge Gerald wrote.
Well, it should be remembered that even after the presidential elections, Bobi Wine challenged people to stand for themselves but nothing happened. How different is he going to do it this time?

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
