These allege that the victory of Ugandans was stolen; “they voted, protected their votes but the electoral commission announced a wrong winner.

Workers both in formal and informal sectors, women groups, students, civil society, farmers, faith groups, youths, and politicians will participate,” the statement continues.

“Time is Now” claims that Protests’ Coordinators have been undergoing training in European countries that have a history of offering training to civil rights activists.

The said individual reportedly attempted to stand for presidency subscribing to the International Green New Deal agenda.
