From hospital bed to vote hunting: Amuriat returns to campaign trail – even with painful eyes

by Samuel Kamugisha
December 29, 2020

Main opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party presidential candidate Patrick Oboi Amuriat (POA) has resumed his campaigns after police pepper sprayed him on December 28, prompting his team to rush him to hospital.

Discharged from Fastline Medical Center in Bugiri District hours later, Amuriat returned to his campaign trail on December 29.

His party says that “after yesterday’s incident where he was sprayed with a poisonous chemical, the Villager [Amuriat] is still in pain but up in [good spirits] and has to deliver a message of change to his people.”
