Acts of violence and other electoral irregularities were reported at various polling stations across the country as Ugandans elected division mayors and councillors.
As was the case with the recently-concluded mayoral and district chairperson elections, yesterday’s elections were also characterised by low voter turnout.
Elections cancelled in Mbale, Lugazi
In Mbale, drama ensued in Moni Ward in the Industrial Division when a fight broke out among supporters. Police used teargas to calm the situation.
Also, voting for women councillors at Nauyo Primary School Polling Station in Industrial Division was cancelled due to mismatch of symbols and names of candidates on the ballot papers.
