"Elections are by nature rules-based exercises, changing the rules too close to the game, can be damaging. The Venice Commission’s Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters affirms that “stability of the law is crucial to credibility of the electoral process”

Efforts to engage political parties, candidates and specifically security agencies in regard to guaranteeing a conducive electoral environment is a step in the right direction. Holding those responsible for any electoral violence accountable could build confidence in the process

[Julius Mucunguzi @j_mucunguzi]

A day after the @UgandaEC Electoral Commission summoning and meeting @PoliceUg chiefs over keeping law, order and ensuring peaceful campaigns in the Kawempe by-election, TODAY has ended peacefully with no reported cases of violent clashes and confrontations.
This is how it should be. Always. An election is not and should not appear like a war zone.
