The prominent opposition candidate and former pop star Bobi Wine said in posts on social network X late on Saturday that he was attacked while campaigning in the north of the country. Beaten by security forces, together with his campaigning aides and supporters: this is what Ugandan opposition politician Bobi Wine said in a series of posts on X over the weekend. Posting videos and photos of chaotic scenes of violence taking place in the northern city of Gulu, Wine said that the alleged security forces, who were not all in uniform during the events, also vandalised the sound system used by the campaign team. Earlier in the week “the military attacked and vandalised” the office of Wine’s team in Gulu, according to the posts.
