Police at Makerere University have tear-gassed students at the institution’s Rugby grounds as two camps of Lawrence Alionzi alias Dangote (NUP), and Justus Tukamushaba’s (FDC) met to conclude their Campaign Rallies.
All guild candidates were supposed to converge and give out their manifestos at the event organized by the 88th electoral commission.
The security persons however could not allow this to happen as the two camps of NUP’s Dangote and FDC’s Justus started throwing stones to each other.
This attracted the police to disperse the gathering by throwing tear gas canisters all over the venue.
Students were seen jumping the perimeter wall to escape the tear gas, ” I had to jump that fence you see, stones are everywhere” Students were overhead shouting.
Makerere University guild elections are to take place tomorrow (Jul 15) from which students will choose one guild president out the 16 candidates in the guild race, to represent them as their new 88th Guild President replacing the outgoing Shamim Nambassa.
