Tear Gas Disrupts Bobi Wine’s Mukono Campaign, Leaving Several Injured

Tensions flared in Mukono as tear gas abruptly disrupted Bobi Wine’s campaign rally, sending crowds scattering in panic. The rally, which had drawn hundreds of supporters, quickly turned chaotic when security forces fired tear gas to disperse the gathering.

Witnesses say the event had been peaceful before the situation escalated without warning. Supporters, including women and youth, were seen coughing, crying, and scrambling for safety as the smoke filled the area. Several people sustained injuries while attempting to escape the chaos.
