A church leader just warned that election tension is scaring people out of the city. The new Archbishop for Uganda's Seventh-day Adventist Church, Pastor Samuel Kajoba, called out clashes between security forces and political figures. He spoke at his installation service at Makerere SDA Church in Nakulabye, where Pastor David Ssimwogerere was also named head of the Church in Central Uganda. Kajoba said the current political heat is making citizens so fearful that some are fleeing Kampala for their villages ahead of the 2026 polls.

He told security agencies and political players to stop confrontations, arguing that tear gas and riots do not change voter intentions. Kajoba stated that leadership comes from the people, not from force. His main appeal was for everyone, especially the government, to put peace above political interests and protect citizens. The service ended with prayers for a calm election and unity, plus guidance for the new church officials starting their five-year terms.
