UPDF and police deploy armoured vehicles and joint patrols in Kampala ahead of general election

The Daily Monitor reports that armoured vehicles and infantry units patrolled Kampala on Sunday, with armed police posted at junctions on Jinja Road, Wandegeya and Nakulabye, four days before the 15 January polls. Defence spokesperson Col Chris Magezi confirmed the joint UPDF and police patrols, saying they aimed to deter election violence and there was no cause for alarm.
