Why did Bobi Wine decide to get involved in politics?

Bobi Wine, initially known for his music, transitioned into politics due to the injustices he witnessed in Uganda. After the 2016 elections, he felt compelled to do more than sing about these issues. In 2017, he ran for Member of Parliament of the Kyadondo East constituency as an independent candidate. His message of change resonated with a frustrated population, and he won by a landslide. Wine then created the People Power movement to improve Uganda’s democratic and social conditions.
