Since declaring passion for it via his Twitter handle @kizzabesigye1 in December, Besigye made it to Namboole and watched the Arua-based club beat Gor Mahia 2-0 in an Betway-sponsored international club friendly.

Following a grand entry, the 60-year-old took his position in the pavilion minutes before the delayed kick-off following a downpour.

Besigye, clad in a green Onduparaka jersey, sat next to other politicians Fred Denis Mukasa Mbidde, Winnie Kiiza and watched Kabon net the brace that sent the 15-time Kenya Premier League champions packing.
