Besigye foils
FDC presidential candidate Col. Kizza Besigye on Saturday foiled an attempt by the Police to block him from addressing a rally. He arrived in Yumbe district a few minutes after 6:00pm and addressed a rally at the Boma Ground.
Electoral regulations do not permit candidates to address rallies after 6:00pm for security reasons. However, Besigye said the Police had not stopped Museveni from addressing rallies at night.
