KAMPALA- The independent Electoral commission chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama called for zero-tolerance to indiscipline and malpractices, including bribery of voters by candidates, which he says could lead for the cancellation of any victory.
Justice Byabakama says this while speaking to stakeholders in the meeting held at Tik Hotel Kawempe on Kawempe North by-election slated on 13th March 2025.
The Kawempe North seat fell vacant following the passing of Hon. Muhammad Ssegirinya on January 9th, 2025.
Byabakama however cautioned candidates to desist from vote bribery, saying that it’s an offense under the electoral law.
He further said that having free and fair elections in the country is everyone’s responsibility not only for Electoral commission.
