Acholi Team Captain Okello Tito Appeals for Support as Teammate Onek Alfred Faces Drug Charges in India

Emotions ran high as Acholi team captain Okello Tito broke down in tears while making a public appeal for assistance for his teammate and “brother,” Onek Alfred, who is currently detained in India over serious drug-related charges. According to reports, Onek Alfred was arrested in December 2023 at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. Authorities allege that he was found in possession of approximately 1.1 kilograms of suspected cocaine. The Indian government subsequently charged him under the stringent Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, a law known for its tough stance on drug trafficking and possession.

Vigilance Wins: His Worship Hon. Labeja Julius Gunya Takes Gulu City Mayorship

By dawn, Gulu City had spoken—not loudly, but firmly. His Worship Hon. Labeja Julius Gunya , popularly known as  Gunya , has officially clinched the Gulu City mayoral seat after one of the most closely watched and tension-filled elections the city has witnessed in recent years. This was not a casual victory. It was a defended one. From the first ballot cast, it became clear that the election would be decided as much by alertness as by numbers. Reports from various polling stations pointed to attempted electoral mischief, including alleged pre-ticked ballot papers and last-minute inducements aimed at boda boda riders on voting day. The message was simple: relax, and you lose. What changed the story was vigilance—relentless, organized, and loud enough to be felt. Gunya’s camp, backed by artists, media practitioners, and committed observers, maintained constant pressure throughout the day and deep into the tallying process. Cameras stayed on. Voices stayed raised. Every suspicious mov...

The New Game: When the Opposition Silenced and the NRM Started Fighting Itself

There was a time when Uganda’s political rings were loud with colour—two or three opposition warriors charging at one lone NRM bull. The chants were clear, the camps were known, and the lines were thick. Fast-forward to today’s scene, and the drama has gone inward. The fights now happen inside the big yellow house. The once-straightforward ballot battle—Opposition vs NRM—has quietly mutated into a house-divided match-up: the official NRM flag-bearer, The new “crossers” hunting favour under the ruling umbrella, and the transition dreamers linked to the Patriotic League of Uganda, the First Son’s civic-turned-political mission. What we’re seeing is not politics dying—it’s politics relocating. The real war is no longer across party lines; it’s within the establishment’s bloodstream. Power is testing loyalty, and loyalty is testing patience. While the opposition snoozes or surrenders its stars to ruling-side offers, the field is now crowded with cousins fighting for...
