Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, also known as Bobi Wine, is one of eleven candidates running for President against Yoweri Museveni. Yoweri Museveni has been in power for thirty-five years, presiding over an authoritarian state. Bobi Wine has received widespread attention in Ugandan and international media for his outspokenness and unwavering criticism of government flaws.
This has ultimately led him on the wrong side of the law, resulting in a number of detentions, arrests, and assaults. He has received a large amount of support from Ugandans, particularly the youth and people from the 'ghetto.' Because of his roots and deep interest for the problems of the average citizen, his supporters frequently refer to him as the "ghetto president." This article examines the biography of the man who, if elected president, has the potential to make history.
