1 Mins read

The mayor of Uganda’s capital, Kampala, on Thursday traded barbs with the government spokesperson on live TV before the debate turned confrontational and the talk show stopped prematurely.

Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, of the opposition FDC party, and government spokesman Ofwono Opondo were among four panellists at the show debating about a just-concluded by-election.

The debate got heated and clips shared on Twitter caught Mr Opondo telling the mayor “I can push you out of here”.

Mr Opondo later stood over the mayor amid an exchange of angry words before the programme was taken off-air.

The NBS station said all panellists left the studio safely and apologised to viewers.

Mayor Lukwago tweeted that the experience was “horrible” and despicable”.

“My only prayer is that I get out of this place safely,” he added.
