Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Dr Stephen Kaziimba, has rallied Ugandans to go and vote on Thursday to decide their leaders and avoid regrets in future.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not say I am tired of voting because voting settles disputes, calms down the powerful people and it is a Godly-given right that no one should miss,\u201d Dr Kaziimba told the Anglican faithful during a service at his Namirembe residence yesterday.The head of the Anglican Church in Uganda also called for peaceful elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to everyone to do their duty of voting. God gave us the right to vote and the Constitution also provides us the right.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bible guides on this voting because it settles any disagreements,\u201d Dr Kaziimba added.According to Dr Kaziimba, people are required to vote to determine who is more powerful but God chooses who to lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven among clerics, voting is done to choose who to lead us in the next term but we need to know that it is God who determines. You go and vote but there is no need for violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter elections, it is not the end of the world because Uganda is still around. This election is not the end, so do not choose death but instead after the exercise, start something new,\u201d the cleric added.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery person needs each other and it is important to know that after losing, there is no need for violence or causing bloodshed or death of another,\u201d said Dr Kaziimba appealing to the Electoral Commission (EC) to ensure fairness in the electoral process.<\/p>\n

He asked security agencies to respect Ugandans and allow them vote freely without intimidation.<\/p>\n
