Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kayunga RDC Ssempala Kigozi has said former presidential candidate, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine will not be allowed in Kayunga District tomorrow to campaign for the National Unity Platform (NUP)\u2019s flag bearer in the LCV by-election, Ms Harriet Nakwedde.<\/p>\n

The RDC\u2019s remarks come after Mr Mathias Mpuuga, the Leader of Opposition in Parliament on Friday while in Kayunga District indicated that Mr Kyagulanyi would canvass for support for Ms Nakwedde in the Kayunga district LC 5 by-election.<\/p>\n

President Museveni is also expected in the district on the same day to drum up support for his party\u2019s flag bearer, Mr Andrew Muwonge.<\/p>\n

Mr Kigozi told journalists at his office on Monday that Mr Kyagulanyi was supposed to be in Kayunga on December 10, 2021 but changed the dates after learning that Mr Museveni would visit the area on December 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Bobi Wine) was slated to campaign for his candidate last week but when he heard that President Museveni was coming to campaign for the NRM candidate on Tuesday, he also changed to Tuesday,\u201d Mr Ssempala said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have organized with the SFC (Special Forces Command) and communicated to NUP leadership that he (Bobi Wine) can visit Kayunga today (Monday) but I\u2019m yet to receive any response from their (NUP) leadership,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Dennis Namuwoza, the acting commissioner of police in charge of operations said Mr Kyagulanyi was free to campaign in the district as long as he follows the electoral commission guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Bobi ) is free to come only that he has to abide by the electoral commission guidelines. No procession, no ferrying of goons from elsewhere. This is a by-election for Kayunga people,\u201d Mr Namuwoza said at Kayunga central police station.<\/p>\n

Mr Ben Ojambo, Kayunga NUP chairman, however insisted that they are expecting their leader tomorrow and blamed security for acting outside the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe (NUP members) are law abiding but it is police breaking the law,\u201d Mr Ojambo said.<\/p>\n

Preparations for President Museveni\u2019s arrival in Kayunga district are in high gear with several NRM bigwigs camped in the district.<\/p>\n

Security has also been deployed on all roads leading to and fro Kayunga ahead of the December 16 by-election.<\/p>\n
