Meet the women leading the ‘No sex’ campaign

The women are the forefront are some 20 women belongings a women’s saving group made up of 110 strong women. Majority of the members are market vendors and small businesswomen who regularly save money for development

During a meeting they held a few days ago the women who are admirers and supporters of incumbent President Museveni resolved to deny any man sex who doesn’t support their candidate in the upcoming presidential elections slatted for 14th Jan 2021.

Stella Ayazi, the chairperson of the women’s group was all praises for Museveni.

”Museveni has supported our organization with funds which has made us economically sound. We have all agreed to vote him as next president.”

Bobi Wine – the darling of Ugandan youth

Bobi Wine is the key opposition presidential candidate facing off with incumbent Museveni who has been in power for over 30 years. The former musician turned politician has won over many Ugandan youth and disgruntled unemployed men.

Compared to other opposition figures, Bobi Wine has proven a hard nut to crack and has given Museveni’s camp sleepless nights.

No Museveni no sex

Ayazi says after the meeting they agreed not to engage in sex with their husbands who support Bobi Wine.

True to their word, at least 20 of them began in earnest to deny sex to their husbands who support Bobi Wine as one of the ways of making them decamp to Museveni’s side. One husband who couldn’t imagine life without sex has reportedly already left Bobi Wine side.

Overall the campaign has had mixed results.

”So far 6 men have already accepted to leave Bobi Wine’s camp and come to Museveni’s. 4 of the husbands become angry and beat up their wives for denying them sex and they have been reported to the authorities for assault while the rest are still keeping up the pressure and saying no to sex until when they give in.” she said.
