Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, says he has temporarily left Uganda after spending nearly two months in hiding.
In a statement on Saturday, he said he went into hiding shortly after the January presidential election, which he claims was rigged, following what he described as security operations targeting him and members of his political camp.
Bobi Wine said security forces searched for him and raided the homes of several colleagues while his residence remained under security watch.
He said he was able to evade authorities with the help of supporters.
Bobi Wine added that his temporary departure will allow him to engage with international allies before returning to Uganda.
