His affiliate Kassiano Wadri, who won the Arua election, was initially stricken with treason with 31 others.

The government has not issued a statement on suspicion that Bobi was attacked while in custody.

The 36-year-old MP has long been criticizing the Ugandan government.

"When our leaders have been misleading and persecutors." When freedom of expression is targeted and oppressed, our position becomes controversial. "

These are words in the song called Situka, which has the same meaning as Zinduka, who sang Wine following the end of the general elections in 2016.

He used the song to force the Ugandan guards to fight corruption and oppression in their country.

In the meantime many artists in the former nation supported President Yoweri Museveni to be re-elected but Wine refused to enter the stream.

Political analyst Nicholas Sengoba says the defeat of Arua's defeat by a veteran supporter was "the death or survival of Museveni".

"His party will decide whether this is now a whirlwind." Bobi Wine has now defeated Museveni and opposition leader Kizza Besigye four times in 'a small election.

"The boss has embarked on a campaign for his 'human power', and he urges to push and arrange to become a tourist," he adds.

Political analyst Robert Kirunda says the influence of Wines is due to the existence of 'leadership gap' in Uganda.

"There are many young Ugandan people who do not need to know the historical war that has led the NRM leadership, or the stubborn opposition of the majority." Many want employment and feel that the economy does not support them. "

Kirunda says Wine 'sneaks down'. "He can push people over, but he still has no strength as Besigye in opposition".
