President Yoweri Museveni held a campaign rally in Mpigi district on December 29, making an impromptu stop in a folding chair right in the middle of the busy Kampala-Masaka Highway to address residents. The road closures for his event and motorcade stranded motorists for up to 20 hours, turning a two-hour trip into an ordeal worsened by holiday traffic and rain.
Opposition figures like Bobi Wine criticized the disruption, especially for those with medical needs, while authorities issued diversions and later confirmed traffic was flowing again by Tuesday morning.
