Veteran Singer Viboyo Eyes Political Transition

Veteran Singer Viboyo Oweyo has revealed that he is eyeing a transition from music to politics. While speaking to a local TV station, the singer said that he’s a common face at the National Unity Platform’s base in Kavule.

He was also recently spotted receiving the party’s card membership from the president of the party Bobi Wine. According to Viboyo, he’s now eyeing the primary elections to get a spot for himself in the 2026 general elections. He however didn’t divulge which position he would be taking in precisely.

According to the singer, he is yearning for change and wants also to be part of that change that he is looking forward to. Although the price is huge once someone joins politics, the Nyumbani singer said that he’s ready to leave his comfort zone.

Read his statement below;

“I’m a Kavule person and there is nothing to hide about it. There is a reason why the party president is the one who handed me the party card. I want to be part of the change I want in this country. Besides, if one doesn’t leave their comfort zone, they can never achieve what they want,” he said.

Additionally, the Swangz Avenue-affiliated singer also talked about his fellow singers that he started with. The majority of them have left the country and are doing kyeyo abroad.

This is because Kampala didn’t treat them well and they ran bankrupt. He said that Kampala is not very easy and the fans too can contribute to one’s depression.

On top of that, he gave his views about copyright law. A few months ago, musicians under the federation were speaking of how they were soon getting this law enacted and enforced. The talk however seems to have withered out. Viboyo said that no matter what it takes, this law will be achieved. However, he said that both the artists and general population need to be sensitized about how it works if it is to succeed.
