Wine appeared to have a bleeding wound on the shin of his left leg and was grimacing in pain.



"We condemn this cowardly action; yet another attempt on his life. The continuing violence meted out on those opposed to the Museveni regime must be condemned by all people of good conscience," NUP party Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya wrote on the social media platform X.
