But the security has since unearthed violent strategies being used by NUP to disrupt this by-election process.

A source revealed the plans to use violence on the polling day by NUP is strategically targeting to instill fear among NRM supporters of Andrew Muwonge who is apparently in the lead against NUP candidate, Harriet Nakwedde.

Security has also identified a one Julius Katongole, one of Bobi wine’s personal Assistants and also the Lubaga Division youth chairperson as the one behind the violent strategy in the area.

Katongole recently accused the Kayunga Woman MP Hon Nantaba Aidah of compromising NUP’s party Election Management Committee chaired by Mercy Walukamba.
