Security talk ramped up as Bukomansimbi tried to calm election jitters. At a meeting in the village of Budda, Kibinge Sub-county, liaison officer William Lubega told local leaders, security teams, and residents that deployments had been strengthened across the district to protect voters, candidates, and election staff before, during, and after the 2026 polls.
He flagged reports of people warning neighbors against taking part, calling that illegal and a violation of constitutional rights. He said anyone pushing threats would face the law.
He asked residents to stay calm, stay alert, and work with security units. He pushed reporting of sketchy behavior, violence, or voter scare tactics inside communities.
Local leaders welcomed the message, saying fear of poll violence had ticked up after scattered flare-ups. They asked security teams to act fast and stay neutral against anyone wrecking peace.
Lubega reminded political camps and their hype crews to keep conduct clean. He said peaceful voting rests on candidates, parties, and the electorate together.
Security teams in Bukomansimbi said outreach would continue across neighborhoods through sensitization meetings and community programs, aiming at peace, tolerance, and respect for the rule of law as the 2026 vote draws closer.
