Police and Bobi Wine's camp are throwing completely different stories about what went down at campaign rallies in Iganga District. Cops say opposition supporters were chucking rocks at officers and wrecking patrol vehicles during events for presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, and they confirmed one guy died in the chaos while several suspects got picked up. Wine flipped the script and claimed security forces opened fire on peaceful crowds after a rally wrapped up, killing one person and wounding multiple others.
The politician named three people he said caught serious injuries from the shooting, but there's no independent confirmation backing up either side's version of events. This marks the second straight day of clashes after similar incidents in Kayunga, where the opposition said another supporter got shot. Security agencies have been accusing the National Unity Platform of breaking traffic laws and starting unauthorized processions, while the party maintains forces are using way over‐the‐top violence to shut down their campaign activities ahead of the upcoming general election.
