Uganda, how long must we endure this embarrassing charade? Kizza Besigye’s pathetic political antics and the Electoral Commission’s spineless collusion have sunk us into a cesspit of absolute absurdity. The People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) is nothing but the latest scheme in Besigye’s long history of failed, desperate attempts to remain relevant in a political landscape that has long moved on from him. And what’s the centerpiece of this circus? Colors. Yes, colors. A grown man, backed by his lapdog Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, is fighting over the shades of blue like it’s a matter of national security. If this wasn’t real life, it would make for a great comedy.
On July 19, Lukwago, with his usual pompousness, issued an ultimatum to the Electoral Commission—one week to provide PFF with registration forms or face legal action. An ultimatum? For forms? This is the level of stupidity that Besigye and his clown troupe have reduced Uganda’s political scene to. These jokers can’t even get their shades of blue straight, and they want to be taken seriously? Lukwago’s overinflated ego, thinking he can intimidate the EC with empty threats, is as ridiculous as a man threatening to sue over which shade of the sky he owns. What’s next, legal wars over the brightness of the sun?
Let’s talk about this royal blue vs. sky blue nonsense, shall we? Besigye and his PFF goons are losing their minds over which shade of blue they claim to own, like toddlers fighting over crayons in a nursery. These morons actually believe that “royal blue” somehow gives their pathetic little party legitimacy. It’s laughable, it’s petty, and it’s a waste of everyone’s time. What’s next, Besigye? Suing over the exact hue of green on a grass blade? Fighting for the intellectual property rights to the color of the clouds? If this is what passes for a political platform, Uganda’s future is as bleak as ever.
And let’s not forget the king of hypocrisy himself—Besigye. After years of parading under FDC’s sky-blue banner, now he’s pretending that royal blue represents some profound political philosophy. Who does he think he’s fooling? His new PFF is nothing more than a second-rate knockoff of the FDC he abandoned. Besigye’s desperation to create a brand new mess out of his old wreckage would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. The man who helped shatter FDC is now throwing temper tantrums over the color wheel. Uganda deserves better than this recycled failure parading as a “freedom fighter.”
But here’s where the real comedy begins—Lukwago’s legal genius moment. He proclaims that “no political party can patent a primary color.” Is this clown for real? Someone needs to remind him that the law is more than just a prop for press conferences. The Electoral Commission, for once, actually made a reasonable call, pointing out the striking resemblance between PFF and FDC in name and color. But in typical Besigye-Lukwago fashion, they wave off these legitimate concerns with sheer arrogance. Besigye thinks he’s got some divine right to the rainbow, and Lukwago, ever the sidekick, is too deluded to see they’re setting themselves up for another failure.
Now, the icing on the cake? The Electoral Commission’s pitiful response. Instead of shutting this circus down, the EC is allowing itself to be dragged through the mud, bending over backwards for these political clowns. Why? The EC should’ve tossed out PFF’s ridiculous demands on day one. But no, instead, they are playing into Besigye’s hands, helping him peddle his laughable narrative of victimhood. This is what we’ve come to expect from an institution that’s supposed to safeguard our democracy—it’s nothing more than a puppet show now, dancing to Besigye’s tired old tune.
Ugandans, how much longer must we watch this freak show unfold? Besigye and Lukwago are wasting time arguing over colors while the real issues go ignored. Meanwhile, the EC is proving, once again, that it’s as useless as an umbrella in a hurricane. They’ve let Besigye’s idiotic tantrums steer the country into another round of nonsense, and we’re left asking—who exactly benefits from this madness?
In the end, it’s the ordinary Ugandan who’s left scratching their head, wondering how we got here. While Besigye obsesses over shades of blue and the EC plays the fool, the issues that really matter continue to fester. Our political discourse has been hijacked by these clowns, and the hope for any meaningful change fades further with each passing day.
So here’s the real question for Ugandans: How long are we going to let these political misfits drag us through the mud? Besigye, Lukwago, and the Electoral Commission have all shown their true colors—and none of them are worth defending.
