Police have dismissed claims that there is a security plot to detain National Unity Platform leader and presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, before Uganda’s January 15 elections.
Kyagulanyi, who is seeking to unseat President Yoweri Museveni for a second time, yesterday took to X, formerly twitter, to warn of what he described as a plan by a “desperate regime” to arrest him before polling day.
Kyagulanyi also accused security agencies of planning to infiltrate his party using civilians dressed in National Unity Platform colours in order to portray the party as violent. He urged his supporters to remain peaceful but vigilant.
In response, the Uganda Police Force rejected the allegations, describing them as baseless and inflammatory.
Police said Kyagulanyi continues to receive security protection during his campaign activities, noting that his safety remains a priority.End.
