Ugandan opposition figure Bobi Wine was shot in the leg during a confrontation with police just outside the capital, Kampala, as reported by his opposition group. The incident occurred in Bulindo, Wakiso District, a town on the outskirts of Kampala. Photos circulating online showed Wine surrounded by supporters who claimed he had been shot in the leg before being assisted into a waiting vehicle.
Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, is a prominent figure in Ugandan politics and leads the National Unity Platform, which holds the most opposition seats in the national assembly. This marks the first time Wine has been wounded in such a manner during street confrontations with law enforcement.
