His party, the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) says Uganda’s security forces are holding him.
Police have neither denied nor confessed to holding Juuko.
Juuko was arrested along with Garrypaul Mayanja, an FDC activist in Masaka, a district in south-central Uganda.
The two were briefly detained at the area police station before being moved to Kampala.
They were conducting training for polling agents ahead of the general election on January 14, the FDC said in a statement.
The country’s health ministry has blamed political gatherings for the spike in cases.
