{UAH} Bobi to police: I want same protection you gave Museveni supporters

Presidential aspirant, Bobi Wine Monday asked police and its sister security agencies to protect his supporters as he heads to Kyambogo sports ground for nomination on Tuesday.

According to the Kyadondo East MP, real name Robert Kyagulanyi, police should accord his supporters the same courtesy they did to supporters of President Museveni before, during and after nomination on Monday.

"Police has written to me about this route as I go for nominations tomorrow. We have no problem and we shall follow this route to the nominations venue. After that, we shall head straight to our office in Kamwokya where we shall launch our manifesto! Today, we saw people mobilised by NRM standing along different roads, guarded by the police, unmolested. We hope the police will behave the same way if our supporters stand and by the road to wave to us," Mr Kyagulanyi tweeted.

Authorities said Bobi Wine will be escorted by Uganda Police Force with a lead traffic vehicle/ motorcycle to nomination venue with his team as per Electoral Commission guidelines.

"Your route to and from the venue will be; Magere, Kumbuzi, Kisasi, Ntinda Stretcher road, Spear Motors, Kyambogo University Junction, nomination venue. We look forward to your positive cooperation in this exercise," reads part of the police letter signed by IGP Martin Okoth Ochola.

During and after President Museveni's nomination, NRM supporters were seen gathered and in processions along Jinja road and Entebbe road, among others to show support for their candidate despite police warnings.
