Former Kasese District Woman MP and ex-Leader of Opposition Winnie Kiiza has dismissed reports claiming that she fled Uganda and went into exile.
Kiiza responded to the rumours on X after a user asked whether reports of her alleged exile were true. She simply replied: “Ignore.”
Her response appears to reassure supporters that she remains in Uganda, despite claims circulating on social media that she had left the country over fears of arrest.
The rumours emerged amid heightened attention on opposition figures who have gone abroad following arrests and legal battles.
Kiiza, a prominent opposition politician and former Leader of Opposition in Parliament, has not announced any plans to leave Uganda.
Her brief response has urged the public to disregard unverified reports about her whereabouts.
