The Go Forward candidate yesterday said he expects to come back with Jacqueline Mbabazi who has been bedridden in London, UK for months.

“Dear Friends, I would like to inform you all that we will have a slight postponement of the next leg of our campaign tours. This is as a result of my travel to visit with my wife and her anticipated return this week,” he posted on social media yesterday.

Mbabazi confirmed wife sickness in late October after invitation to attend National Resistance Movement (NRM) when he said Jacqueline was ill.

Love for the Wife

“When I married my wife I made a promise that from that day forth, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both live, I would give her full support. I am her primary helper and so I have taken some time away from campaign activities in order to give her the support she needs,” Mbabazi said in October.

Mbabazi last campaigned in Mpigi on Thursday before suspending campaigns over Pope’s visit on Friday and Saturday.
