Bobi Wine

Robert Kyagulanyi is a musician with the stage name, Bobi Wine. But as he would later admit, he could not just get on with music while the country goes down under the watch of president Yoweri Museveni.

Bobi is an independent member of the Ugandan legislature. When he won his seat in 2017, it made national news but many would have written off the fervor for him.

Things changed in 2018 when he campaigned for a number of candidates in by-elections and they won.

Today, his signature red beret that forms part of his fashion has become a favorite of young people.
