The Nakasongola District Security Committee has finalized preparations for the forthcoming presidential campaign rally of National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine.
The rally is set for Friday, October 10, 2025, at Kalungi Playground.
The engagement, chaired by Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Festus Bandeba, brought together key security and political stakeholders, including Savannah Regional Police Commander SSP Michael Kasigire, Motorized Infantry Division Commander Major General Charles Byanyima, members of the District Security Committee, and NUP coordinators.
RDC Bandeba emphasized the importance of coordination to ensure a peaceful and well-organized campaign.
SSP Kasigire noted that discussions focused on harmonizing the routes to be used by Kyagulanyi’s convoy, while Major General Byanyima reaffirmed the neutrality of security forces and their commitment to maintaining law and order throughout the campaign period.
Initially, NUP representatives proposed two venues—Kalungi and Lwabiyata sub-counties—for the rally.
Security officials, however, advised that only one location host the event to minimize the risk of disorder. After deliberations, it was unanimously agreed that Kalungi Playground would host the rally.
The agreed route for Kyagulanyi’s convoy will pass through Kakooge, Kasiso, and Kakora before arriving at Kalungi Playground.
The same route will be used for the exit after the rally. Organizers were advised to ensure strict adherence to law and order before, during, and after the event.
Stakeholders expressed optimism that the agreed arrangements will guarantee peaceful campaign activities in Nakasongola on Friday.
