ANT campaign manager says heavy security deployments hinder Muntu campaign

Civic Space & Media Freedom Single source Uganda (national) 24 Nov 2020 Severity: 1/5

Winifred Kiiza, national campaign manager for the Alliance for National Transformation, told journalists at Parliament that heavy police deployments at campaign venues were scaring voters away from Mugisha Muntu's rallies. She said security had also forced the campaign to change venues it had booked, giving Hoima as an example, and that the 60-day campaign period was too short to cover all districts.

A national event, not tied to one district.
