Police stopped Bobi Wine from hitting campaign spots in Nwoya and Amuru after he allegedly tried switching up his route and heading toward the Elegu border instead. Security forces say the NUP candidate ditched the agreed-upon rally location that his team previously confirmed with authorities and other stakeholders.
Wine claims he ran into youth squads wearing ruling party gear and holding insulting signs in Nwoya, so his convoy bailed and pushed toward Elegu before cops blocked them there. He posted about what he called deliberate harassment designed to mess with his momentum, but police spokesperson David Mudong Ongom maintains they just told him to circle back to the original venue.
Crowds apparently showed up along roadsides to catch whatever brief speeches Wine could deliver while stuck at the checkpoints.
