Two people were reportedly injured when one of the vehicles in the convoy of presidential aspirant John Patrick Amama Mbabazi got involved in an accident early this morning.
Eyewitnesses said the car carrying band members on Mbabazi’s entourage was speeding and skid off the road after its driver failed to negotiate a sharp bend at Kanyende, in Busheshe Sub County, after Ibanda town.
The two injured people, one Gaucho and Tony, were later rushed to a health facility for treatment.
This is not the first time Mbabazi’s convoy is involved in an accident; about two weeks ago, while he campaigned in the Karamoja sub region, a Toyota Custom omnibus Reg No UAT 654Z carrying members of his private security team got involved in an accident, overturning several times and injuring some of his private guards.
Also, about a week earlier, another accident involving Mbabazi’s supporters occurred in Apac, when a Toyota Prado TX Reg No UAN 565H skid off the road and injured people by the roadside. The injured were rushed to Atapara hospital for better management.
A source that spoke to The EagleOnline attributed the ‘campaign accidents’ to excitement among supporters following their candidates.
