COMMISSION STATEMENT ON VIOLENT CONFRONTATIONS IN GULU ON SATURDAY, 6th DECEMBER 2025
The Commission condemns the violent scenes surrounding candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu's campaign rally while in Gulu on 6th December 2025
As we await investigations into the incident to establish the root causes, the Commission wishes to state that this was unfortunate and uncalled for, especially coming just days after the meeting of all agents of Presidential candidates and the Uganda Police Force, to iron out any issues, with all those in attendance committing to peaceful conduct in accordance with the law.
Violence is inconsistent with the Commission's enduring calls on all stakeholders to act peacefully and in accordance with electoral laws to enable Ugandans have free, fair and credible elections.
A duly nominated Presidential candidate is free to traverse any part of Uganda to campaign, provided he or she is acting in line with the law and guidelines issued by the Electoral Commission.
If there is any disagreement on any matter on the campaign trail, the Commission appeals for dialogue, not violence and confrontation.
The Commission calls on @PoliceUg to investigate the circumstances that led to Saturday's confrontation and ensure that those responsible are subjected to the full force of the law.
The Commission further calls on law enforcement agencies to exercise restraint and use proportionate, lawful and humane means while enforcing compliance with electoral laws and guidelines.
Justice Byabakama Mugenyi Simon
Chairperson, Electoral Commission
