Riots in Kampala have entered day two cutting off major Towns like Kamwokya, Namugongo, and Kampala as security is heavily deployed on various roads.

All this, is over the arrest of Presidential candidate Kyagulanyi Sentamu alias Bobi Wine who was arrested in Luuka as he intended to campaign yesterday.

In some towns near Kampala such as Bwaise and Namugongo, security has been forced to fire live bullets and teargas to disperse rioters who continue to demonstrate.

Yesterday, police fired teargas and live bullets to control the rioters crowds, leaving at least 5 people dead and several injured in the chaos.

In downtown Kampala, security has been forced to fire bullets on Thursday morning to keep the crowds under control.

Inspector General of Police Okoth Ochola said in a statement on Wednesday, that police had intensified operations in making sure that the Electoral Commission’s guidelines for the campaigns are followed.

“We have disseminated our comprehensive policing plan to all territorial commanders for them to implement without fear or favour,” Ochola said in a statement.

The Electoral Commission and Ministry of Health guidelines on election campaigns restricted all contesting candidates at all levels to only 200 people per campaign session, yet Kyagulanyi has since the start of the campaigning season attracted mammoth crowds on his campaigns.
