Ndooli, who
lost the primary election to Fred Tumwesigye blames his woes on his rivals,
saying it is intended to divert him from pursuing his petition challenged the
results.
It is alleged that Ndooli staged
an illegal assembly at Kyenda in Mubende municipality on September 10th,
2020 to protest the outcomes of the primaries.
He, however,
says the arrest is meant to divert his attention from the petition, saying he
has strong evidence that he won the primary elections.
