Businessman and presidential advisor Odrek Rwabwogo, also President Yoweri Museveni’s son-in-law, has reportedly raised concern over Uganda’s political direction ahead of the 2026 elections, triggering wide public debate.
Rwabwogo, often seen as a quiet but influential voice in political and business circles, is said to have expressed deep worry about growing internal challenges affecting governance and democratic systems.
According to circulating reports, he warned that Uganda’s biggest threats are no longer external, but rooted within its own political structures. He allegedly pointed to issues such as electoral integrity, corruption, voter intimidation, political violence, and the growing influence of money in elections.
The remarks, which have gained traction online, are drawing mixed reactions. Supporters say they highlight real governance concerns that need urgent attention, while critics caution against over-interpreting politically sensitive statements.
As debate grows, the comments have added momentum to ongoing national discussions about governance reforms and the credibility of Uganda’s electoral process as the country heads toward 2026.
