Yoweri Museveni and Bobi Wine Compete for Young Voters

In Uganda’s upcoming presidential election, the youth dominate the campaign, passionately supporting either long-time incumbent Yoweri Museveni or challenger Bobi Wine. Museveni, in power for 40 years, emphasizes stability with the slogan “Protecting the Gains,” while Wine rallies support for change under “Protest Vote.” The election reflects a generational divide in a country where the median age is 17, yet political power remains with older leaders. Observers caution that the election may prioritize security over genuine democratic engagement amidst rising youth frustration.
