Security sources say communication around Robert Kyagulanyi has been heavily restricted after his state provided details were fitted with signal jammers, a move that has disrupted live coverage of his Presidential campaigns.
The jammers have affected media crews following his trail, with broadcast teams from NBS and NTV struggling to relay live footage back to their studios.
Editors from both stations have faced long delays as signals break or fail completely, leaving supporters waiting minutes before any updates reach the screen.
The friction between NUP and NBS has grown in recent weeks, but security sources insist the issue is not tied to the station itself.
They say the jammers are blocking transmission in the wider area, which has slowed all broadcasters working near the convoy.
NTV has also reported late arrivals of clips from its field crews.
Stories from Kyagulanyi campaigns have been reaching the newsroom long after they happen, making real-time reporting almost impossible.
