Mr Kanusu, the press secretary for UPC president Olara Otunnu was arrested at around 10:45 am at the district tally centre after police was called in by Electoral Commission officials.
Mr Kanusu is alleging that the Returning Officer, Ms Flavia Mujulisi was delaying declaration of the LCV results deliberately in order to rig in favour of the National Resistance Movement Candidate, Fredrick Ngobi Gume.
His arrest sparked off a scuffle between the police and Mr Kanusu’s supporters. He was later taken to Jinja’s Central Police Station.
When his supporters stormed Jinja CPS, this prompted the army to surround the police station premises, before the police started shooting in the air and scattering people using teargas canisters.
