Kabale – Independent presidential candidate Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde Kakurugu on Wednesday, November 12, resorted to door-to-door campaigns in Kabale and Rubanda districts due to the heavy downpour and heavy security deployment .
Candidate Tumukunde, who is currently in the Kigezi region, was first blocked from entering Kisoro district on grounds that he was scheduled to be there on Tuesday after a scuffle with security personnel.
Tumukunde turned back to Rubanda, where he was expected on Wednesday according to a roadmap issued by the Electoral Commission.
However, anti-riot police officers chased away people who were walking to meet him at Murore town council playground
During the same time, it started raining heavily forcing the locals to abandon the rally , to instead seek shelter in the trading centres ir was then that Tumukunde then started walking door-to-door wooing support.
In Kabale town, Tumukunde’s rally flopped after supporters who had gathered at Kigezi High School playground in Northern division were ejected by a heavy downpour there he opted to drive through Kabale town waving at his supporters up to Karubanda in Mwanjari, southern division along the Kabale-Katuna road.
