However, they opted to take an alternative route where they encountered our cutoffs. Consequently, they decided to head to Jinja City and cancelled their campaign in Iganga,” police explained further, adding;
“We urge him and his team to adhere to security guidelines to ensure smooth and peaceful campaigns.”
