Kayunga RDC Ssempala Kigozi has said former presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine will not be allowed in Kayunga District tomorrow to campaign for the National Unity Platform (NUP)’s flag bearer in the LCV by-election, Ms Harriet Nakwedde.
The RDC’s remarks come after Mathias Mpuuga, the Leader of Opposition in Parliament on Friday while in Kayunga District indicated that Kyagulanyi would canvas for support for Ms Nakwedde in the Kayunga district LC 5 by-election.
President Museveni is also expected in the district on the same day to drum up support for his party’s flag bearer, Andrew Muwonge.
Kigozi told journalists at his office today that Kyagulanyi was supposed to be in Kayunga on December 10th, 2021 but changed the dates after learning that Museveni would visit the area on December 14th.
However, Dennis Namuwoza, the acting commissioner of police in charge of operations said Kyagulanyi was free to campaign in the district as long as he followed the electoral commission guidelines.
Ben Ojambo, Kayunga NUP chairman, however insisted that they are expecting their leader tomorrow and blamed security for acting outside the law.
Preparations for President Museveni’s arrival in Kayunga district are in high gear with several NRM bigwigs camped in the district.
Security has also been deployed on all roads leading to and fro Kayunga ahead of the December 16th by-election.
