NUP supporters block Kampala-Jinja highway in Mukono after Kyagulanyi arrest; one killed, one injured by gunfire

According to The Independent, National Unity Platform supporters protesting the arrest of their presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi barricaded the Kampala-Jinja highway in Mukono with boulders and burning tyres, confronted occupants of NRM-branded vehicles, set government vehicles alight and burnt NRM campaign posters and billboards. The army, local defence units and police dispersed the crowd, with running battles continuing in nearby trading centres until about 10 pm. The paper reports that two people were shot: a vendor died on the spot and a taxi passenger hit by a stray bullet at Seeta was admitted to Mukono hospital; the Mukono Division police commander confirmed the arrest of several ringleaders.
