The Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, is calling for calm during the election season. He wants a stop to violence and for election officials to stay neutral. He mentioned specific problems like candidates and their supporters getting beaten up and blocked from reaching their own campaign events. He said these actions break the law and mess with basic human rights.

He made a direct plea to the national electoral commission. He told them not to just watch from the sidelines but to actually help create fair conditions. His statement said every candidate should be able to talk to voters without anyone getting in their way or hurting them. He connected this directly to the ongoing disputes between the National Unity Platform party and the security agencies. The opposition says their rallies get shut down, while police say they are just following the rules.

The Kabaka also warned about money having too much influence in politics right now. He said overspending on campaigns can twist the democratic process and make people lose faith in their leaders. He finished by asking everyone involved, from politicians to regular citizens, to focus on keeping things peaceful and legal. He argued that respecting rights and the law is the only real path to stability and progress for the country.
