Patrick Oboi Amuriat was violently arrested at about 4.30pm today when he arrived in Gulu city for his campaign meetings. Many FDC supporters were also arrested; they’re all detained at Gulu CPS.
Nsibambi campaign attack
On Monday 9 November the attack on the campaign of Yusuf Nsibambi was filmed and shared on Social Media.
Yusuf Nsibambi is a FDC candidate of Wawokota North district.
According to New Vision journalist Simon Ssekidde Police Commander Frank Natamba fired teargas canisters to disperse hundreds of the supporters who were following him. The campaign was accused of not following up on Covid-19 regulations.
This is another example of how Covid-19 regulations are abused by Ugandan government to prevent non-NRM candidates from campaigning.
