For 22 months straight, Nada Andersen woke up every morning and posted the same sentence on X: "Good morning. Has she resigned yet?"
The words became one of Uganda's most recognisable acts of digital protest -- brief, repetitive, stubborn, and relentless.
And now, at least partially, they have finally been answered.
On Monday, Anita Among, the subject of this quiet protest, announced she was stepping back from the race for Speaker of Parliament, marking a stunning political retreat for a woman who until last Friday appeared untouchable at the centre of Uganda's power structure.

But for Ms Andersen, this is not the ending she had in mind.
Within moments of the announcement, she responded with characteristic bluntness: "Resign as an MP."
Then came the familiar ritual.
"Good morning. Has she resigned yet? NO HALF BAKED RESIGNATIONS, FULL RESIGNATION AS A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT."
For many Ugandans who followed her posts daily, the persistence came as no surprise. Andersen's campaign was never merely about the Speakership. It was about accountability, public anger over corruption, and refusing to let outrage disappear with the news cycle.
The campaign traces back to July 2024, when anti-corruption protesters organised the now-famous "March to Parliament" demonstrations against alleged corruption and extravagance within Parliament.
The protests were peaceful. The state response was not.
Security operatives violently arrested demonstrators, bundled many into detention, and dragged others through lengthy court processes. Images and testimonies from the crackdown triggered outrage among many Ugandans, including Andersen.
"The message 'Good morning. Has she resigned yet?' started when Ugandans, tired of the corruption, mismanagement, and thievery, organised a March to Parliament," Andersen explained.
"Subsequently, a number of apolitical, decent, just, and upright Ugandans were arrested, and subjected to the usual measure of threats, intimidation, detention, and endless court appearances -- all for voicing what many think but are too afraid to say."
Her daily posts became a form of civic resistance -- a refusal to allow public memory to fade.
Every morning, the same demand returned like clockwork.
No elaborate graphics. No political manifesto. No online screaming matches.
Just one question aimed at one of the country's most powerful political figures.
"My posts are a daily reminder that there is a woman in a position of power who is undeserving of being there," Andersen said.
"It can be Among today, and any other woman tomorrow, for as long as they see their position as a chapter for personal gain."
Andersen, a Ugandan of Serbian origin, has spent decades building a name in Uganda's advertising and media industry as founder and CEO of Star Leo, one of the country's most influential agencies.
But outside boardrooms and branding campaigns, she has increasingly become known for her fierce online activism and sharp political commentary.
A passionate dog lover and founder of the Canine Association Uganda, Andersen's critics and admirers alike often marvelled at the pitbull-like persistence of her campaign. Once she locked onto the issue, she refused to let go.
To some, the posts became irritating background noise. To others, they were monotonous. But to many Ugandans frustrated by corruption and impunity, the daily greeting evolved into a rallying cry.
Her persistence echoed another prominent voice online: veteran columnist Nicholas Sengoba, who has similarly turned repetition into protest.
Every day, Sengoba posts reminders about the unresolved killing of Julius Ssemwaka.
"It's DAY 511 since PC Charles Bahati of Bushenyi shot dead Julius Ssemwaka, driver of UAX 480C & 'fled' on a boda boda, from armed patrol policemen. Police 'recovered' only the gun. Let's retweet daily to remind," Sengoba posted on Monday.
Both campaigns reflect a growing culture of digital accountability in Uganda -- citizens using persistence rather than power to pressure institutions into action.
Still, Andersen insists her criticism is not rooted in hostility toward women leaders.
"This is not to disregard men in power who are doing the same or worse. Let other voices raise against them," she said.

"My voice goes to women who are so drunk on power and money that they don't think their journey will ever end. Eventually, it does end."
For her, Among's political fall should become a national lesson.
"Making AAA an example of how you rise through corruption and fall, is the only decent thing the President and the Government of Uganda should do today," she argued.
"Ugandans need hope that they will have a future. The time to act and rebuild the future together is now. Otherwise, I'm afraid we are all lost."
And so, despite the partial victory, the campaign continues for the woman has in the past come under rabid attack from Among's supporters, who threw veiled threats about her nationality and invoking citizenship threats.
The question that greeted Uganda every morning for nearly two years has not disappeared.
It has simply changed shape.
The resignation Andersen demanded may have begun, but in her eyes, accountability remains unfinished.
