The district official stopped voting for an hour in Rushambya Cell after people showed anger. Voters became upset when they found Salim Owoyesigyire missing from the party book during the NRM elections. He wants to become the village chairman against retired church leader David Rurihoona. The pause gives election workers time to ask party headquarters what to do next.
Local NRM record keeper Babrah Ainebyoona said Owoyesigyire can still run because he signed up under new rules. The village has 432 names listed in the yellow book, according to Joshua Musinguzi, who runs the election there. Voting will start again once they figure out how to handle the problem with the missing name.
