Opposition parties have protested the new election guidelines issued by the Electoral Commission (EC) ahead of the Thursday poll.
The EC chairperson, Justice Simon Byabakama, on Wednesday communicated new guidelines that would apply to the January 14, General Election.
 Contentious among these is the directive that voters will not be allowed to remain at polling stations after voting to witness the vote counting, the ban of cameras and selfies at the polling station and the mandatory Covid-19 testing for all persons accessing the national tally centre at Kyambogo University grounds in Kampala. 
 Opposition political parties have, however, questioning the legality of the directives which they say may discredit the election.
