Fearing bloodshed, some Ugandans are leaving Kampala to vote in the home regions in the tense presidential and parliamentary elections due tomorrow.
According to the past elections the country had always had chaos within Kampala, and surrounding areas.
Campaigning has been marred by violence.
In November, the arrest of Bobi Wine sparked protests, which led to deadly clashes with security forces, killing more than 50 people.
The vote will pit President Museveni, who had been in power since 1986, against Kyagulanyi who is the opposition frontrunner.
Kyagulanyi, 38yrs, has urged supporters to turn out in large numbers and to protect the election from rigging, accusing the ruling party of trying to intimidate voters.
