UgandaToday: 🔴 Uganda Today Unveils Powerful 26 Jan– 2 Feb 2026 Edition
A Must-Read Package of Politics, Society, Elections, Accountability and Insight
Uganda Today is proud to present its latest print edition (26th January – 2nd February 2026), a bold and comprehensive newspaper that captures Uganda and the world at a defining historical moment.
From four decades of President Yoweri Museveni’s rule, to the turbulence surrounding the 2026 General Elections, to voices of conscience questioning repression, technology failures, and internet shutdowns, this edition delivers hard-hitting journalism, authoritative analysis, and compelling human stories that every Ugandan should read.
At the centre of this edition is a major lead story titled “Museveni, Uganda’s Unbroken Leader,” which traces President Museveni’s journey from guerrilla commander to Africa’s longest-serving leader, examining the milestones, constitutional reforms, controversies, and legacy debates that define his 40-year grip on power.
The edition also carries an emotional and historic statement by outgoing Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, who formally concedes defeat after 15 years in office, offering a reflective account of his stewardship, struggles, and continuing fight for social justice.
Readers will further find a detailed investigation into BVVK machines and their controversial performance during the January 15, 2026 elections, raising urgent questions about technology, preparedness, and trust in Uganda’s electoral process.
On the international front, Uganda Today brings readers up to speed on the Ukraine war, where global pressure continues to mount amid humanitarian suffering and diplomatic manoeuvres.
The Society section breaks new ground with the inspiring and controversial story of Uganda’s first transgender Anglican priest, while the Achiever column profiles legendary musician Misach Ssemakula – “The Golden Voice That Refuses to Fade Away.”
This edition also features:
-
A gripping report on masked soldiers raiding Bobi Wine’s home, sparking local and international condemnation.
-
A powerful opinion by Lady Juicy asking: Who bears the cost of Uganda’s election internet shutdown?
-
A hard-hitting editorial titled “The New Government Should Resist the Price of Repression.”
-
Community voices from Kawempe, where road works have left residents trapped in sunken homes.
-
A reflective national commentary: “Democracy Under Strain – A Moment for National Reflection” by Juma Manzi.
Together, these stories form a rich tapestry of Uganda’s political, social, and economic reality—told without fear or favour. #UgandaToday #phoenixNewsFeeds #OperaNewsFeeds
