Critics have called it a stunt to invite sympathy. Yet Amuriat says campaigning without shoes is a protest and that those who do not get its symbolism are missing a point.
Uganda is due to hold a general election on January 14. Amuriat and another opposition candidate, Bobi Wine have had their rallies violently dispersed by security forces or been arrested.
In mid-November, scores of people were killed as security forces attempted to quell protests against the arrest and detention of Bobi Wine.
Police has accused the candidates of addressing huge gatherings in contravention of regulations on COVID-19 prevention.
Swollen feet
In an interview with one of the dailies in Uganda, Amuriat said his feet hurt a lot and has to pour cold water on them in between campaign stops for some relief.
Doctors have cautioned him on the potential danger of contracting tetanus from cuts to his feet.
Yet Amuriat remains adamant. He says by refusing to wear shoes, he’s standing in solidarity with people whose wealth and opportunities have been stolen by the country’s longtime ruler Yoweri Museveni.

BALDWIN HILLS — A local coalition representing 300 black clergy members has joined the fight to block the sale of the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, one of the biggest malls in Los Angeles.
At a June 10 press conference outside the Hancock Park offices of CIM Group, the coalition voiced its strong opposition to the giant real estate firm’s plan to buy the 40-acre property, arguing that it threatens South L.A. and its economic interests.
“This is just the start of a series of protest events we will organize against CIM’s plan for the plaza property,” said the Rev. William D. Smart Jr., CEO and president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Southern California.
In May, Los Angeles-based real estate developer Shaul Kuba, CIM Group principal and co-founder, announced the company had signed a purchase and sale agreement to pay more than $100 million for the property, located at Crenshaw and Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards and would reposition the property by ditching prior plans for residential use to instead renovate the 869,000-square-foot mall into office and other commercial uses.
CIM plans to scrap at least the residential portion of Capri Capital Partners’ massive redevelopment plan for the 40-acre property, which was to add nearly 1,000 residential units, a hotel, office space and more retail.

The Georgia Democratic Party is asking a county judge to grant additional time to review absentee and provisional ballots from the state’s primary earlier this week following widespread election issues.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the state House speaker have called for investigations into voting delays in Atlanta and across Georgia that lasted hours for voters looking to cast ballots during Tuesday’s primary.
The party is bringing suit against Raffensperger as well as members of the Georgia State election board, citing notification requirements that the party deemed “impossible for several county boards of election to comply with.”
“As county election officials have made clear, the volume of absentee ballots and provisional ballots cast and collected, combined with a shortage of poll workers justifiably fearful of exposure to the novel coronavirus, have overwhelmed election officials,” party officials wrote in court documents, noting that “tens of thousands of ballots have not been processed in several counties, let alone examined and verified or rejected within three days of the election, as required by” ballot regulations.
The party is asking a judge to require Raffensperger to direct by 9 p.m. ET Friday all county election superintendents to contact voters within one business day if their ballots are rejected, and to grant any Georgia voter whose ballot is rejected until next Friday, June 19, to submit information they think could factor into their ballot being accepted.

Leaders from Ivory Coast’s ruling party agreed at a closed-door meeting late Wednesday to press President Alassane Ouattara to seek a third term in October’s presidential election.
This follows the sudden death of Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly, two sources said on condition of anonymity. “All options are on the table, including a new candidacy for President Ouattara,” AFP reports the ruling party’s executive director, Adama Bictogo, as saying.
Ouattara announced in March that he would not stand for re-election after 10 years in office and designated his closest ally prime minister Gon Coulibaly, as the RHDP party’s candidate.
Gon Coulibaly’s death on Wednesday, less than a week after he returned to Ivory Coast from an extended medical leave in France for heart issues, left the RHDP scrambling to choose a replacement.
A formal leadership meeting is in the works ahead of the July 31 candidate submission deadline.
The election is expected to be the most hotly contested since 2010, when Ouattara’s victory over Laurent Gbagbo sparked a brief civil war in which 3,000 people died.
