The National Resistance Movement mobilisers in Ggoma Division
Mukono Municipality have suspended their campaigns citing insecurity in the
area.
About 200 mobilizers were tasked to campaign for the party flag
bearers including the party’s presidential flag bearer in the area, however, following
the protests many of them have halted the campaign until the situation normalizes.
Since Wednesday, Mukono district has been engulfed in protests
from NUP supporters who were protesting the arrest of their Presidential
candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu. They blocked several vehicles branded
with NRM party colours and posters going through the district.
Although security was beefed up in the district, protests resumed
on Thursday in areas of Kiwanga in Seeta, Industrial Area, and Nasuuti trading in
Mukono Central Division and Kalagi town in Mukono North with supporters burning
car tyres and demanding for the unconditional release of Kyagulanyi.
