Quiet but intensive negotiations have for weeks been underway between the National Unity Platform (NUP) and the Ugandan government to facilitate the safe return of party president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu from abroad, multiple security sources have told this publication.
The talks, which have taken place several times in recent weeks, are understood to include an arrangement under which Bobi Wine would return home without facing any criminal charges related to the disputed January 15, 2026 general elections.
A key outcome of the negotiations appears to have already materialised, with the complete withdrawal of security forces from Bobi Wine’s Magere residence earlier today.
On the NUP side, those involved in the talks are said to include National Treasurer Benjamin Katana, Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya, and senior party spokesperson and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Joel Ssenyonyi.
