The two meanly guarded roadblocks be-tween the central Buwambo and Gongonya townships were depictive of the tense general election mood in Bombo town council last Thursday.
At Masjid Noor A with 505 voters and Masjid Noor B (with 526 voters) polling stations near the military barracks, the slow start in the morning continued well into the afternoon. At every moment in time, there were more polling agents and officials than voters.
The voters and candidate agents were very rattled on seeing the media and the residents were extremely unconformable talking to journalists much as there was no visible soldier in sight. Unlike most towns, in Bombo town council, there was no single campaign poster of the National Unity Platform presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi.

Shortly after the opening of Busia market, President Museveni was compelled to address a crowd that converged outside the market.
Mr Museveni, the presidential candidate of the ruling National Resistance Movement’s (NRM), had his face mask on and stood a distance away from crowd, but a majority of those in the crowd did not have masks and were not practicing social distancing for which Mr Museveni and the NRM took quite a bashing.
An appearance such as was witnessed in Busia Town was one of the very few where Mr Museveni was visible to the ordinary folk since November 9 last year when he kicked off his re-election campaign.
