The nominations of President Yoweri Museveni and John Patrick Amama Mbabazi early today have led to a massive traffic jam in Kampala.
Commuters who use the Kampala-Jinja Highway were forced to seek alternative routes including Ntinda-Kyaliwajjala and Nakawa-Kinawataka after the main road was closed off at the Spear Motors junction.
Similarly, cars on most city access roads like Ntinda-Stretcher, Luzira-Nakawa, Mutungo-Nakawa and Kampala City-Wandegeya-Ntinda were moving at snail’s pace, making many arrive at their destinations hours late.
Museveni and Mbabazi were nominated at 9.00am and 11.00am at the Mandela Stadium, Namboole, respectively, and thereafter they led their supporters to the venues of their first official campaign rallies in preparation for the 2016 general elections.
