The campaign for this month’s general elections began calmly enough, according to Kristof Titeca, an expert on governance in Uganda at the Institute of Development Policy at the University of Antwerp. "But as soon as Bobi Wine and his political party, the NUP, really started campaigning, the repression escalated," he told RFI.
