Political tensions erupted at Kabale Municipal Stadium during local NRM party elections. Former MP Hon. Aja Andrew Baryayanga encountered resistance when security personnel blocked his stadium entry around 11:02 AM. Campaign supporters pushed back, ultimately forcing their way inside and compelling security to allow Baryayanga and his team access.
Parallel challenges emerged as Counsel Eliab Naturinda Mporera also faced entry restrictions. Journalists covering the event encountered barriers preventing media access to polling areas, sparking transparency concerns about the electoral process.
Separately, Sheikh Kassim Kamugisha experienced electoral setbacks after NRM Electoral Commission Chairperson Dr. Tanga Odoi disqualified him from the Vice Chairperson race. Kamugisha failed to resign from his Deputy Resident District Commissioner position before party primaries. Bridget Asinga now stands as the sole contender for the position pending potential developments.
