Patrick Amuriat Oboi the Forum for Democratic Change Presidential Candidate is out on a non-cash bail of 2 million shillings.
He was granted bail by Mbarara Grade One Magistrate’s Court after being charged with disobedience of lawful orders.
Amuriat was arrested this morning in Bushenyi while on his way to Rubirizi District for campaigns.
He was grabbed by police for evading arrest in Mbarara City and using porous routes to access the city center. In the process, he knocked down the Divisional Police Commander -DPC.
Amuriat pleaded not guilty to the charge and applied for bail through his Lawyer, Lydia Ahimbisibwe of Ahimbisibwe and Agaba advocates.
His Worship Gordon Muhimbise granted Amuriat bail on the principle that he is innocent until proven guilty and that having another case with the same court remove his right to bail.
The two sureties are Stanley Katembeya the chairperson FDC Mbarara district who is also contesting for Mbarara city Mayoral seat and Agatha Atusasire contestant Mbarara Woman Member of Parliament.
After his release from court, Amuriat proceeded to resume his campaign in Bushenyi district.
