@ughistory: Dr. Milton Obote, Uganda's former President, officially began his presidential campaign in Bushenyi on Tuesday (28 May) after nine years in exile. Addressing a rally under tight Tanzanian security, he vowed to rebuild Uganda’s shattered economy if his Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) wins the upcoming elections. A Tanzanian Air Force plane flew Dr. Obote and his wife, Maria, to Bushenyi, where they were welcomed by UPC supporters singing praises for both Obote and Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere. Dr. Obote expressed joy at his return, recalling his exile in 1971 after a coup by Idi Amin. Party workers and Tanzanian troops provided a secure atmosphere as thousands gathered for his address. At Ishaka Stadium, Dr. Obote called for national reconciliation and reconstruction, pledging that a UPC government would restore law and order, attract investors, and abandon nationalization policies. His campaign is widely seen as supported by President Nyerere and Uganda’s interim government, paving the way for his political comeback. #tanzaniantiktok🇹🇿 #ugandahistory #ughistory #obote #ugandanstiktok
