Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine was shot in the leg during a confrontation with police near Kampala, a statement by his party, the National Unity Platform.
The party claims the incident was an attempt on his life, marking another episode of violence between Bobi Wine and Ugandan security forces.
The 2021 presidential candidate has been a prominent critic of President Yoweri Museveni's long-standing rule.
In a post on Facebook read; This evening, as our President Bobi Wine returned from Bulindo in Kira Municipality where he had gone to check on one of our lawyers, Musisi George, the police and military under the command of one Twesigye surrounded our vehicles and started firing live bullets, teargas cannisters and other projectiles.
In the process, our President #BobiWine who was clearly targeted was shot in the leg. He is currently being attended to by a team of medical doctors.
This is yet another attempt on the life of our President by the Museveni regime!
