The first Candidate to suspend the campaigns was Rtd Major Mugisha Muntu who was followed by John Katumba and later Gen Henry Tumukunde.
In his statement, Gen Tumukunde said his campaign was in consultation with fellow leaders of all change forces to determine the best course of action.
“All candidates have a right to be seen, the right to be heard and the right to express their vision for the country in a free and fair election.
