Uganda president, Gen Idi Amin, was not in attendance but a delegation from Uganda was.

As the 2021 General Election fever rises, candidates across the country are doing all it takes to win over voters before the election day, which is on January 14, 2021.
Among these is the Minister of State for Minerals, Ms Sarah Achieng Opendi, also the incumbent Tororo District Woman MP.
Ms Opendi has been occupying the seat for a decade now, after she defeated former legislator, Ms Grace Oburu, in 2011.
However, she is now facing a tough challenge from Ms Jacinta Ayo, a graduate of human resource management from Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), who is contesting as an Independent.
