Wakiso Police are holding 29 National Unity Platform supporters who defied campaign guidelines while accompanying NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, on his campaign trail.

According to Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, on Monday, October 6, 2025, presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu planned to travel to Mityana District for a rally.

Security personnel issued warnings, but the group persisted. Police arrested about 29 suspects, who are now held at Wakiso Police Division.

Police has urged all presidential candidates to follow traffic regulations, use approved routes, and respect other road users.
