This is not the first time Katumba was blocked from addressing his supporters. A similar incidence allegedly happened last month at Iganga town, when the police led by Kenneth Muheirwe, intercepted his vehicle and blocked him from conducting his rally.

At 24, Katumba is the youngest presidential candidate in Uganda’s history. He benefitted from their recent removal of age limit of 35 – 75, for presidential candidates.
