Uganda's Electoral Commission called out candidates for ignoring campaign rules after violence popped off in multiple districts, with National Unity Platform supporters clashing against cops. Spokesperson Julius Musinguzi said most of the 83,000 people running for office are keeping things chill, but recent incidents saw police firing live rounds in Kayunga District and arresting over 30 folks in Arua City when rally crowds got rowdy with stones.
The commission wants presidential candidates down to local council hopefuls telling their crews to follow electoral guidelines, and observers will get deployed to monitor polling day behavior. Security forces used tear gas plus water cannons to break up crowds after one person caught a bullet in the leg during confrontations.
