Images circulated on social media of men in what the article calls a replica police uniform defacing posters of NUP presidential aspirant Robert Kyagulanyi along the Kampala-Entebbe highway and in Kampala's central business district. Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango denied police involvement, saying any police removal of posters was agreed with all parties to clear posters obstructing traffic, while NUP secretary-general David Lewis Lubongoya accused the armed forces of shielding those defacing the posters.
