Bobi Wine, Uganda’s opposition presidential candidate, pledged to review all oil contracts with international firms and revise terms that do not favor Ugandans if elected. The announcement comes as Uganda prepares to begin oil production from its Albertine Rift fields in the second half of 2026. Construction of the $5 billion, 1,443-kilometer East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) to Tanzania’s Tanga port is about 75% complete, with first exports expected in October 2026.
