NEWS-Security personnels have surrounded the home of National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine in Magere, Wakiso District ahead of his visit to Kayunga District.
Robert Kyagulanyi was to campaign for Harriet Nakwedde, the NUP candidate in the Kayunga District LCV byelection organized to replace Muhammad Ffeffeka Sserubogo who died weeks after taking over office.
Nakwedde faces Andrew Muwonge of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), Anthony Waddimba of the Democratic Party (DP) and independent candidates Boniface Bandikubi, Majid Nyanzi, as well as Jamil Kamoga.
Kyagulanyi accused current government of attempting to stop him from going to Kayunga to campaign for Nakwedde.
“This morning, ahead of my planned visit to Kayunga District to campaign for our flag bearer, the police and military deployed overnight around my home in an apparent attempt to block me from leaving,” Kyagulanyi said
