Sanjay was the first parliamentary candidate to be nominated at 9:30am as an independent candidate by the returning officer, Fredric Muwaya Tibakuno, before he moved with his procession of his supporters, paralyzing activities in the entire town centre.
The police officers who kept on patrolling the entire municipality as others had been deployed from the ElectoralCommission offices to Lions Children Park where Sanjay is expected to host his supporters.
The deployment followed threats by his arch rival Yeri Apollo Ofwono the NRM party-flag bearer to storm Lions Children Park, a venue that is being claimed by both candidates as their campaign launch venue.
Ofwono who is expected to be nominated on Thursday said they cannot allow Tanna to take control of Lions Children Park, saying that they eventually have to storm the venue by force. Ofwono, the former area MP, has been defeated byTanna in the past two previous elections.
But security officials have warned of stern action against those who will perpetrate violence.
The chairman of the district security committee, Martin Orochi, said they are better prepared to handle the situation as it unfolds. He said they are not going to entertain any hooligans.
