From Luganda to Lunyarwanda: Barbie Kyagulanyi Itungo Bridges Communities at NUP Rally.

While addressing the people of Kiboga—a cattle-keeping region in Uganda that is home to many Ugandans of Rwandan descent and various western Ugandan communities—Bobi Wine, the National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate, invited his wife, Barbie Itungo, to greet the enthusiastic crowd. Barbie delivered a brief speech in Luganda, but the crowd warmly requested that she speak in Lunyarwanda. She obliged, switching languages with ease, which electrified the audience and sparked loud applause and celebration. Amid the cheers and excitement, Bobi Wine praised the people of Kiboga for their enduring resilience and optimism, even in the face of what he described as continued oppression under President Museveni’s regime. In this commentary, I delve deeper into that moment and its broader political significance.
