Election Related Verified Wakiso 2 Nov 2020 Severity: 2/5

ChimpReports reported that residents of Wampewo, Kasangati and Magere woke on Monday to find soldiers, police and plain-clothed security personnel deployed near the home of NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) a day before his nomination. Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson Patrick Onyango said intelligence officers were gathering information because Kyagulanyi had said he would mobilise a nomination procession, which police described as illegal. Police had also written to Kyagulanyi on Sunday prescribing his route to the Kyambogo nomination venue, which he said he would follow.
