Los Angeles - A new political documentary featuring Ugandan opposition leader and musician Bobi Wine has premiered on National Geographic.

Uganda's 'rigged' elections

The film, titled The People's President, follows the journey of Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, from his humble beginnings to his rise as a popular singer and a presidential candidate in the 2021 election.

The documentary captures the challenges and dangers that Bobi Wine and his supporters faced during his campaign, such as arrests, violence, intimidation and censorship.

Bobi Wine, who leads the National Unity Platform party, challenged the long-time incumbent Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power since 1986.

He claimed that the election was rigged and that he had been the rightful winner.

"The documentary captures the brutality that unfolded around us the moment we began challenging dictator Museveni’s regime," he wrote on Twitter.

Bobi Wine claims he won UG elections

On Saturday, January 16, 2021, TUKO.co.ke reported that Bobi Wine called on his country mates to reject the general election results.

The politician claimed the outcome of the election did not capture the true picture on the ground, insisting he was a victim of election fraud.

The opposition front-runner urged the electoral commission to be guided by the constitution to do that which is right.

"I am very confident that we defeated the dictator by far. I call upon all Ugandans to reject the blackmail. We have certainly won the election, and we've won it by far," he said.
