Bobi Wine’s plans to launch his manifesto at NUP offices in Kamwokya, a Kampala suburb were yesterday foiled by security operatives who detained him shortly after his nomination at Kyambogo sports grounds before firing teargas and live bullets at his supporters.
Bobi Wine will also use the same function to officially open NUP offices in the district that is within the same metropolitan as Kiruhura, the ancestral home of the incumbent and National Resistance Party (NRM) nominee Mr Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Museveni.
Mbarara had decades-long been an NRM stronghold until during the 2016 polls when there was a significant dwindle in the turnout.
National Unity Platform (NUP) nominee, Bobi Wine has also rejected the government security detail that was given to him by the Electoral Commission after his nomination yesterday, party Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya has announced.
