Civic Space & Media Freedom Single source Kampala 1 Nov 2020 Severity: 1/5

Police director of operations AIGP Edward Ochom said there was no credible threat to the presidential nominations and outlined a multi-agency security plan. He warned that aspirants who mobilise boda boda processions, and the riders, risk arrest, and that teargas may be used to disperse groups police consider violent. Traffic on Jinja road was to be diverted, and only accredited vehicles allowed to the Kyambogo University venue.
