Artist Adam Mulwana Passes On After Suffering From Liver Complications

In the latest news, the popular vocalist Adam Mulwana, closely affiliated with the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), has regrettably left us after a prolonged battle with health issues. Mulwana gained widespread recognition through his iconic composition, “Toka Kwa Bala Bala,” which served as the signature tune for Dr. Kizza Besigye during the 2016 general election and continued to echo through various FDC gatherings.

His extended health struggles prompted numerous visits from notable political figures, particularly those from the opposition, who conveyed their concern and support at his residence in Luwero.

Reports suggest that Mulwana wrestled with complications linked to his liver, attributing them to alleged poisoning. Unfortunately, the singer breathed his last at Doctor’s Hospital in Seguku, a suburb of Kampala, as reported by various sources, including figures from the Opposition.

Mulwana, who ascended to fame during the 2016 General Elections with the anthem ‘Toka Kwa Barabara,’ has left an irreplaceable void in both the music and political realms. The Swahili phrase, translating to ‘get out of the way,’ became a symbolic anthem for the Opposition Forum for Democratic Change and Dr. Kizza Besigye as they pursued their fourth attempt to challenge President Museveni through democratic means.

Throughout the past couple of years, Mulwana battled illness, openly asserting last year that he believed he had been poisoned. ‘Toka Kwa Barabara’ not only rivaled President Museveni’s 2011 campaign song but also became an integral component of FDC’s musical arsenal.

As the song climbed the campaign music charts, Mulwana found himself navigating a intricate landscape of both fame and paranoia. His constant relocations reflected an elevated sense of vigilance, fueled by concerns that he was under surveillance by security operatives. The legacy of his impactful music and political influence will undoubtedly endure.
