Presidential Hopeful Frank Bulira Says Frozen Accounts Have Stalled His Campaign but Insists He Can Defeat Museveni

Revolutionary Peoples Party (RPP) presidential candidate Frank Bulira has claimed that he stopped holding campaign rallies because government security and financial agencies allegedly froze his bank accounts, crippling his ability to fund campaign activities ahead of the January 15, 2026 presidential election.

Bulira says the freeze made it impossible to transport his team, hire venues, or organise the large-scale mobilisation drives he had planned. He further alleges that a container carrying more than one million campaign T-shirts, which he had printed for his supporters, was confiscated by the authorities and has not been released to date.

According to Bulira, these actions severely disrupted his visibility and momentum at a critical stage of the campaign. However, despite the setbacks, he insists he is still capable of winning the race.

Bulira says he believes he can defeat President Yoweri Museveni, claiming that even alleged interference by Electoral Commission chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama would not stop him. He did not provide evidence to support the allegation.

Nevertheless, he maintains that he has the strategy and resilience to prevail.

“I have the tactics to end Museveni’s regime, in a very short time,” Bulira declared.

The Electoral Commission and security agencies have not issued a response to his claims.
