The United Kingdom (UK) has officially lifted the travel ban on National Unity Platform leader Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine, paving the way for his anticipated visit to the UK this month to kickstart his diaspora mobilization tours.

The ban was originally imposed in response to controversial anti-gay lyrics released by Bobi Wine in 2014, where he encouraged the public to take action against individuals he referred to as “battymen.”

Human rights activists exerted substantial pressure on the UK’s Home Office, demanding that Bobi Wine be denied entry and that his scheduled performance at the Troxy Arena in the UK is cancelled. As a result, the Home Office has barred the singer-turned-politician from entering England since that time.

In a brief statement on Sunday morning, Bobi Wine expressed his joy at the new development, saying, “I am very glad to inform you that the ban against me from entering the UK has finally been overturned, and I will soon be visiting the UK after more than 10 years.”

He extended his gratitude to their legal team in the UK for their unwavering efforts and to the People Power diaspora supporters who continually voiced their concerns through protests and advocacy.

Bobi Wine’s upcoming visit to the UK aims to promote his documentary titled “Bobi Wine: Ghetto President,” which traces his journey from growing up in a Kampala slum to challenging President Yoweri Museveni. The documentary was directed by British filmmaker Christopher Sharp.
