Opposition leaders in Entebbe, Wakiso District, have accused the military of orchestrating a selective campaign to remove their posters ahead of the 2026 General Election, leaving ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) materials intact.
The group, which includes members from several opposition parties, claims the move is aimed at creating the false impression that the opposition has little support in the area.
They say the vandalism is part of a broader pattern of political intimidation.
Similar complaints have been reported in other parts of the country, particularly in Western Uganda, where opposition figures allege their campaign posters are being torn down or defaced by both security officers and NRM agents.
At a press briefing on Tuesday, Entebbe opposition leaders presented supporters who said they had been arrested or assaulted while putting up campaign materials for National Unity Platform leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, who is expected to challenge President Museveni in 2026.
In response, the group launched the “Hands Off My Posters” campaign, warning they will stage a peaceful demonstration if authorities fail to act against those responsible.
They insist that equal political space and protection of campaign materials are essential for free and fair elections.
