Today, 17th December 2025, the NUP presidential candidate, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi, was scheduled to conduct campaign rallies in Katakwi District at Toroma Primary School and Toroma Town Council, Ocorimongin Primary School (Katakwi Town Council), and Usuk Sub-county.
In Kapelebyong District, the scheduled venue was Kapelebyong Primary School, Kapelebyong Town Council.
In Amuria District, the previously agreed campaign venues were Amuria Secondary School and Orungo Town Council playgrounds.
Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi arrived from Kumi via the Gweri–Toroma Road en route to Toroma Primary School, his first scheduled campaign venue. Along the way, he made two unauthorized stopovers at Gweri Trading Centre and Omasitei Trading Centre in Soroti District.
He arrived at Toroma Town Council at about 1340 hours. Instead of proceeding to the agreed venue, he addressed people along the roadside in Toroma Town Council, contrary to the approved campaign plan.
He later proceeded to Katakwi Town Council for his second scheduled rally. However, upon reaching the Moroto–Soroti Road junction, he declined to proceed to Ocorimongin Primary School, the agreed campaign venue.
He had a stand off with security officers for over 30 minutes, thereby disrupting the planned activities.
Following the incident, the candidate was advised and guided to proceed to Kapelebyong District for his next scheduled rally.
Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi arrived at Kapelebyong Primary School at about 1700hours, and the rally ended at around 1750 hours.
Due to time constraints, the candidate did not proceed to Amuria District to conduct the scheduled campaign rallies. By the time activities concluded in Kapelebyong, it was past 1800 hours, which is beyond the authorized campaign time.
After the Kapelebyong rally, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi was guided to use the Kapelebyong–Apedur Road. Upon reaching the Acowa–Amuria Road, security advised him to use the Acowa–Akotomit–Abarirelela–
The candidate declined this guidance and instead parked, stating his intention to proceed to Amuria Town, which was declined by security agencies as it was outside the authorized campaign time.
