KAYUNGA: The National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate in the Kayunga LC5 election has taken an early lead following the voting exercise on Thursday.
Provisional results from about 10 polling stations show that NUP’s Harriet Nakwedde is far ahead of his closest rival, NRM’s Andrew Muwonge. These results were announced at the polling stations after the completion of the voting process.
However, the official counting of the results is taking place at the tally centre established by the Electoral Commission (EC) at the Kayunga District headquarters. EC reserves the right to announce the official results.
The counting of the ballot papers comes amid allegations of ballot stuffing, intimidation of voters, and arrests of polling agents.
The race has attracted six candidates including National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate Harriet Nakwedde who is running a tight race with National Resistance Movement’s Andrew Muwonge. Others are DP’s Anthony Waddimba and independent candidates Majid Nyanzi, Jamir Kamoga, and Boniface Bandikubi.
