Several campaign posters of the opposition candidates have been removed from the stands in different parts of Masaka as President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni starts to campaign in the area.
The affected posters are those of opposition politicians that include presidential, parliamentary and local government candidates, that had been put up in the different junctions of Masaka district.
At the junction of Total highway in Nyendo and Kijjabwemi roundabout; both located on the Mbarara-Masaka by-pass, many the opposition candidates’ campaign posters that had put up were replaced with those of National Resistance Movement-NRM’s presidential candidate Yoweri Museveni who begins his two-day campaign tour in the greater Masaka district today.
Julius Musaazi, the National Unity Platform Coordinator for Kayirikiti Zone, in Nyendo-Mukungwe division of Masaka City says all their campaign posters they had placed on the roads into Masaka town, many were vandalized and taken away by unknown people.
Enoch Abaine, the greater Masaka Regional Police Commander when contacted to comment about the incidences, said he needed time to study the reports before he could speak about them.
In a related development Police in Busia district are holding six suspects for defacing the national resistance movement-NRM party presidential candidate, President Yoweri Museven’s posters according to ASP. Moses Kakiryo, the Busia district police commander.
