A television reporter (Delta TV) has been rushed to hospital after he was shot during a teargas-permeated scuffle in which defiant Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago was arrested.
The journalist has been identified as Enock Kugonza while another person, councillor Mariam Kizito has also been injured and rushed to hospital.
Lukwago has been whisked away to a yet-to-be-established location.
He was insisting on proceeding to the Electoral Commission offices for mayoral nomination, despite the deferment of the process last week.
Earlier, Lukwago told reporters he was yet to receive official communication from EC on the postponement.
Today's nominations were postponed as the commission awaited guidance from the minister in charge of Kampala, Frank Tumwebaze.
This followed the tabling in Parliament of KCCA Act amendments that seek to further empower the executive director while making the Lord Mayor post more ceremonial.
The proposed amendments also controversially seek to transfer the suffrage powers to elect the Lord Mayor from the public to elected councilors.
