Presidential Candidate Gen Henry Tumukunde has been blocked from accessing to Kisoro district by Uganda Police.
According to poilce, Tumukunde was supposed to cover Kisoro yesterday according to the Uganda Electoral Commission schedule and so today he would not be allowed to cover it unless he gets permission from the electoral body.
The former Security Minister bowed to the police and decided to continue to Rubanda district where he opted for door to door campaigns.
Yesterday, Tumukunde clashed with police in Rukungiri as he kicked started his campaigns where some of his supporters were blocked from the campaign venue firing of teargas to disperse them.
Gen. Tumukunde is contesting as an Independent candidate but is running campaigns under his pressure group Renewed Uganda.
