Matooke Republic has learnt that Kyagulanyi beat police at its game at around 5 am when force broke into his hotel room only to be greeted by an empty bed. 

In response, police arrested four of Kyagulanyi’s team including his personal assistant, video director Kim XP and polling agents of candidate Asuman Basalirwa. 

Earlier in the night, Basalirwa’s house was also coded off by the military ahead of the candidate’s final campaign today.
