Presidential candidates' agents meet Electoral Commission over rising campaign violence

Agents of the presidential candidates held a five-hour closed-door meeting with the Electoral Commission. NUP agent David Lewis Lubongoya said the campaign environment resembled a war zone and accused police of selectively banning NUP processions, while President Museveni's agent Moses Byaruhanga said police should act against any offender. EC chair Justice Simon Byabakama urged restraint, referring to a recent death in Kayunga, and AIGP Frank Mwesigye defended police guidelines on processions, tear gas and dogs.
