The Democratic Party-DP Presidential Candidate, Norbert Mao has asked voters in Kigezi to vote for a president who will mend the relations between Uganda and Rwanda.
Rwanda closed its border with Uganda in February 2019, after it accused Ugandan authorities of abducting its citizens and locking them up in un-gazetted areas.
Rwanda also accused Uganda of hosting and facilitating dissidents especially Rwanda National Congress-RNC and the Democratic Forces for the liberation of Rwanda FDLR, which have declared war on the
Kigali government.
Addressing a press conference yesterday, at Cephas Inn Kabale in Kabale Municipality, Mao said that the border closure has left a number of people with no jobs since their lives were depending on the business at the border.
He added that when elected, he will ensure that there is a good relationship with Uganda and other countries.
