Veteran Ugandan politician and four-time presidential candidate, Dr. Kizza Besigye, has been reported missing, sparking growing concern.

According to reports, Besigye was last seen three days ago, preparing to travel to Kenya in the company of another individual. Since then, neither Besigye nor his companion has been reachable, raising fears for their safety.

Winnie Byanyima, Besigye’s wife and a prominent international figure, has accused the Ugandan government of unlawfully detaining him.

She alleges that her husband was abducted last Saturday in Nairobi, where he had traveled to attend the launch of Hon. Martha Karua’s book.

“I request the government of Uganda to release my husband, Dr. Kizza Besigye, from where he is being held immediately,” Byanyima stated on her verified X account.

She further claimed to have reliable information that Besigye is being held in a military detention facility in Kampala.

Besigye’s social media silence has further fueled speculation. His last post, four days ago, celebrated the Uganda Cranes’ qualification for the 2026 African Nations Cup.

Known for his consistent online presence, his sudden inactivity is highly unusual.

As of now, neither the Ugandan government nor law enforcement agencies have commented on his alleged disappearance or detention.
