   "Bobi has been released on bail and we are here at the court waiting
   for him to leave the court and probably head home," said David
   Rubongoya, secretary general of Wine's National Unity Platform party.
   "There's a lot of security deployment, we don't know what will happen,
   but he's free."

   Police arrested Wine on Wednesday while he was campaigning in eastern
