How is government going to prove the intention of the money sent from abroad that it’s sent with foreign interests? And how will a citizen prove that they have received the money to do anything that is out of foreign interest? What if the foreign interest is to educate children?

Bambalazaabwe Ssemakula, a resident of Misonzi Landing Site on Lulamba Island, Kalangala District, is among voters who were unable to cast their ballot due to transport challenges. He urged the Electoral Commission to consider holding all local and national elections on the same day to reduce voter fatigue and costs, noting that the current staggered system discourages people from returning repeatedly to polling stations.

Update: Despite the timely delivery of polling materials and the presence of election officials, voters had not started turning up by early morning at Mweena Playground polling station in Kalangala Town Council, Kalangala District.

This low turnout was also observed at most other polling stations across the town council. Eugiene Kiratiire, one of the first voters at Kizzi Playground polling station, attributed the low turnout to frustrations from the recent presidential and parliamentary elections.

Another voter, Aron Kataayi, said the low turnout was due to the absence of mobilizers, unlike during the previous elections.
