At least one person has been confirmed dead and scores are nursing injuries after supporters of Bugweri county MP candidates clashed as campaigns came to an end.

The deceased only identified as 18-year-old Azedi, a resident of Busembatia Town council in Bugweri District.

He met his death when supporters of incumbent MP Abdu Katuntu and those of the FDC Flagbearer and Kampala based Lawyer Julius Galinsonga clashed at Idudi Trading center along Bugiri-Tororo road.

The Busoga East police spokesperson James Mubi says Azedi was hit with a stone on the head and he died before he was taken to hospital.

Mubi says they have deployed several officers to ensure law and order prevails during and after the poll tomorrow.
