Having kicked off the campaigns for Uganda’s general elections 2016, a lot of eventful things have happened showing presidential candidates pull record crowds. Others like Amama Mbabazi have done more incredible things including kneeling to plead with voters at Zigoti along Mityana road.
Some of the candidates have jumped bridges, others have taken to the stage to dance to various dance strokes in an effort to excite their fans. For the newly initiated John Patrick Amama Mbabazi it was time to get a new name as he was baptized with a “Kiganda” name Mbaziira.
Others like Maureen Kyalya Walube and Joseph Mabirizi who are campaigning together, their trail hit a snag while in Busoga where they claim some unknown people abducted candidate Joseph Mabirizi for unknown reasons.
