I will reappear at an appropriate time: Bobi Wine speaks on his return from hiding
By Cynthia Lodite, January 27, 2026Uganda’s most prominent opposition presidential candidate, Bobi Wine, has come out and revealed that his home has seen visitors question his whereabouts while clearing the air on when he plans on showing up from his hideout.
Taking to his official X account on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, Bobi Wine revealed that operative officers stormed his Busabala home while trying to lure one of his staff to notify them of his whereabouts.
“Operatives went to Busabala. Asked staff if I had been there. Tried to compromise one to tip them off if I come around,” Bobi Wine added.
According to Bobi Wine, an aerial drone has been hovering over his home, mostly during the night.
While dismissing thoughts that he could be in his Busabala home, Wine has maintained that he will only show up when it is appropriate.
“There was an aerial drone hovering over the night before. I advise them not to waste time on these futile exercises. I will reappear at an appropriate time,” Bobi said.
Where is Bobi Wine?
This comes days after the vocal Ugandan politician came out and revealed that he was not free, while further explaining the whereabouts of his close political allies just days after the just-concluded general elections.
Taking to his official X account on Thursday, January 22, 2026, Bobi Wine explained his worry, revealing that the current regime is trying to hunt him down.
On his part, Wine has noted that his home is still under seige while three of his close allies are in detention after what he described as an abduction from their homes on a similar day.
“I am not free. My home is still under siege, and the criminal regime is trying to hunt me down. And yet, three out of my four Deputy Presidents are also in detention! My Deputy President for Northern Uganda, Dr. Lina Zedriga Waru is still missing, having been abducted from her home on 15th January,” Bobi tweeted.
Wine has further sounded an alarm that his Deputy President for Central Region, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi, was arrested on Thursday, January 22, 2026, and he is currently held at Kira Division Police.
“My Deputy President for Western Uganda, Hon. Jolly Jacklyn Tukamushaba is still missing, having been abducted from Rukiga District on 14th January. My Deputy President for Central Region, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was today arrested and he’s being currently held at Kira Division Police,” Bobi added.
“As the persecution intensifies, may be remain rooted in hope and faith, that our struggle – the Ugandan struggle – will end in victory,” Bobi explained.
