According to The Independent, independent presidential candidate Henry Tumukunde arrived at Kinoni playground to find the venue empty and guarded by police, and accused police of blocking his supporters and disrupting his campaign. Rwampara District Police Commander Patrick Opiyo denied blocking the meeting, saying he was managing traffic on the highway. Tumukunde then addressed people through a public speaker and went door to door in Kinoni town, and said he was considering legal action against the DPC.
