Wakiso District chairman Mr Matia Lwanga Bwanika has accused some security officials of taking part in election malpractices.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Kayunga, at one of the polling stations, some ballot papers were missing and voters had initially refused to take part in the voting,\u201d he said. \u201cAt Nkumba Kigero Primary School they [security officials] wanted to disrupt voting. In Entebbe Municipality, we have heard that soldiers from the Special Forces Command, led by Entebbe District Police Commander, Mr Michael Kasigirye, have been moving to different polling stations confiscating voters registers from agents saying they are not supposed to have them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bwanika said that they informed the Electoral Commission about the matter.<\/p>\n

He alleged that at some polling stations such as Mubiru Peter Memorial School in Senge, some security officials spent the night ticking ballot papers in favour of a candidate he could not name.<\/p>\n

Mr Kasigiriye could not be reached for a comment since repeated calls on his known numbers went unanswered.<\/p>\n

However, the Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, Mr Luke Owesigire said that he is aware that some agents of several candidates in the affected areas had their personal voters registers yet voting had to be conducted using the official EC register.<\/p>\n

Entebbe sub-district Returning Officer, Ms Aidah Tusiime said: \u201cI am not aware of anything like that, I am just hearing it from you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
