Hannah Karema Tumukunde, former Miss Uganda and law student, says her camp got police permission for the April 7 event at Nalika Lane, featuring artists like Sheebah and free ice cream, after confirming the pre-booking. Her rival Gracious Kadondi's supporters point to earlier posters for the same spot and accuse Karema of arrogance or favoritism tied to her family. The dispute highlights the fierce race between Karema's 'Reboot the Ivory Tower' and Kadondi's 'No Cuddling' platforms, as students head to vote on April 9 amid calls for calm.
The Makerere University Office of the Dean of Students halted all physical and outdoor campaign events, including concerts in Kikoni, for the guild presidential elections. The decision affects campaigns occurring this week.
