In Mbarara—

Voters in Mbarara city have accused electoral commission officials and security operatives of intimidating them as they choose their local government leaders. 

This morning Babu Farid an agent to one of the candidates for Kakoba and Nyamityoborora wards Muzamil Sekajja was arrested by security operatives outside Madarasat polling station for not having his appointment letter which he had left inside the polling station.

Babu Farid who is currently detained at Central Police Station Mbarara tried explaining to the security team but all in vain. 

Muzamil noted that all these were done in order to intimidate his Supporters.

He however called upon his supporters not to lose hope but stay focused as God will give them their victory. 

Kato Abdul a voter told www.mknewslink.com reporter that most of his fellow Supporters were denied access to Madarasat polling station though they had all it takes for one to engage in voting.

Meanwhile, the interim Mbarara city Lord Mayor Kakyebezi Robert has cast his vote at Madarasat polling station.
