Violence & Conflict Disputed Uganda (national) Date not reported · first reported 6 Dec 2025 Severity: 2/5

NUP lawyer George Musisi said the party had seen a pattern of security vehicle drivers deliberately knocking down supporters, especially boda boda riders, during campaign events, and that it had reported the matter to the Electoral Commission and was compiling evidence for court. Police liaison officer Patrick Lule said such incidents should be reported to police with number plates, and said some boda boda riders had also deliberately collided with security personnel.

A national event, not tied to one district.

Disputed: NUP says security drivers deliberately hit its supporters, while police say not all incidents involve police and some riders deliberately collided with security personnel.
