In short
John Patrick Amama Mbabazi is expected to address a rally at Kasana Playground and mobilization is in high gear. Mbabazis organizers have resorted to use cyclists and walking house to house mobilizing people to attend the rally.
Supporters of Presidential candidate Amama Mbabazi and those of his rival Yoweri Museveni have clashed over campaigns posters of their respective candidates. Mbabazi is expected to hold his campaign rally at Kasana Playground in Luweero district today.
As a result, Mbabazi's supporters took to the streets to mobilise residents to turn up for the rally in large numbers. Hundreds of Mbabazi's voters have lined up along the road in Wobulenzi trading center with drums and vuvuzelas ahead of his procession in Luweero Town.
However, there was a bitter exchange between Mbabazi's supporters led by Julius Mugerwa and those of Museveni at Kasana Idlers' corner in Luweero town over mounting campaign posters. Trouble started after Mbabazi's supporters attempted to mount his campaign posters on the road side arch locally known as ekiyitirirwa, which was used by Museveni's team.
This didn't go down well with Museveni's supporters led by Zubair Kasana. They confronted Mbabazi's supporters and asked them to construct their own arch leading to a heated exchange. Mugerwa describes the incident as an act of intolerance on the part of Museveni's supporters. Alex Ssebuuma, another Mbabazi supporter also accuses the NRM district leadership of intimidation.

A team of Police Officers led by Paul Wataka, the Luweero District Police Commander has deployed to avert any possible clashes between supporters of the rival candidates.
At Kasana playgrounds, enthusiastic supporters of Mbabazi have started gathering to welcome him. Moses Matovu, a resident of Kikyusa town is among the people who have arrived at the venue to listen to Mbabazi.

Cue out…and rests"//
Edward Wamala is another expectant supporter; he wants Mbabazi to invest more in agriculture and health sector.
