Today 06 October 2025, presidential candidate Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert planned to travel to Mityana district for his presidential rally.
He was expected to take the Mityana highway but chose to use Hoima Road
A joint security deployment was arranged to facilitate the candidate’s movement.
At Bujjuko trading centre along the Mityana highway, a group of NUP supporters gathered, drumming, whistling, and blocking the road, disrupting traffic flow and incited unrest by blocking roads.
Security personnel issued warnings, but the group persisted, leading to the arrest of about 29 suspects who are currently held at Wakiso police division.
We urge all presidential candidates to comply with traffic regulations, follow approved route plans, and respect the rights of other road users.
