Police on Tuesday morning explained that the events were sparked by an attack of supporters of independent candidate Kassiano Wadri on President Yoweri Museveni’s convoy.

Mr Museveni was in the area to solicit votes for the National Resistance Movement candidate in the upcoming Arua municipality by-election, Ms Nusura Tiperu.

Elections are scheduled for tomorrow Wednesday August 15.
