Suspended local govt polls to be conducted today – EC
By Nobert Atukunda
The Electoral Commission (EC) will today conduct local government council elections in more than 50 electoral areas in different parts of the country where they were halted due to various reasons.
Mr Paul Bukenya, the EC spokesperson told Daily Monitor at the weekend that elections in certain areas could not be conducted with the rest last week due to violence at polling stations or absence of candidates’ details, among others.
“Those electoral areas in different parts of the country were not able to conduct or conclude the elections due to mismatch or absence of details (photographs, names or symbols) of candidates on the ballot paper, and/or violent conduct at polling stations leading to the destruction of polling materials,” Mr Bukenya said.
