Eid prayers across the country have been marked with calls for peaceful elections come 2016.
Some Muslim leaders have also attacked the police over what they described as excessive force in handling opposition supporters.
This follows a recent incident in Eastern Uganda where the police used tear gas and bullets to disperse supporters of former premier Amama Mbabazi.
Delivering his Eid message at Kibuli mosque on Thursday monring, the Titular head of the Muslim Community Prince Khasim Nakibinge expressed concern that the police is using excessive force to suppress such gatherings instead of focusing on fighting crime.
Separately, the Muslim community has been urged to actively participate in the country’s electoral process.
In his Eidh Message delivered to believers at the old Kampala Mosque, the Deputy Imam Sheik Imran Ssali emphasized the importance of voting.
Likening voting to a business, he explained that the more one invests in terms of level of involvement, the more they reap.
Sheikh Ssali also asked the Electoral Commission to take into consideration Muslims’ prayer days while setting election dates to avoid being locked out.
At Nakivubo stadium, the leader of Jamia Dawa Sarafia Dr.Haruna Jemba has cautioned Muslims against engaging in politics of violence as the country prepares for the 2016 general elections.
Dr. Jemba noted that on many occasions Muslims have been associated to violence hence the need for them to change that perception.

He said violence does not solve any conflict but rather contributes to suffering and loss of lives.
