The Opposition Forum for Democratic Change former Presidential Candidate Col Kizza Besigye was involved in talks with Uganda Police Force, apparently to find a common ground on some of his activities, which police fears might cause unrest in the capital Kampala.
Besigye on Tuesday morning reportedly held a lengthy meeting with the Kampala North Regional Police Commander (RPC) Wesley Nganizi.
The details of the meeting were measly as police could not divulge want was being discussed.
The Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson said he was not privy to information about the meeting or its aims while the national police spokespersons Fred Enanga and his deputy Polly Namaye were unavailable.
However, Col Besigye’s handlers revealed the meeting was to convince him to follow the traffic guidelines on his way to the FDC headquarters where the opposition party are holding weekly prayers.
Yesterday, the FDC cancelled part of its “Free my Vote Campaign” where supporters were asked to stay at home every Thursday in protest against Besigye’s four months house incarceration.
With the release of Besigye recently, this demonstration was suspended, but the remaining aspects of the broader campaign are still ongoing according to the FDC spokesman Ibrahim Semujju Nganda, including the Tuesday Prayers.
Besigye missed last week’s prayers and was detained for hours at Naggalama Police station for flouting police traffic guidelines.
By Publication time, Besigye had left his home to the FDC headquarters in Kasangati
