This election was scheduled for Monday 14th, September,2020  but failed after supporters of another candidate Said Byandara caused chaos on the same polling station which prompted the authorities led by the NRM registrar Mbarara city Ssebuma Kaweesi to postpone the election.

Benon Arinaitwe, an agent to Richard Muhwezi at Kisenyi B polling station told www.mknewslink.com reporter that they refused to line up behind their candidate after other voters were locked up outside polling station.

Hassan Mubiru , the presiding officer at Kisenyi B polling station went ahead to declare Said Byandara as the winner since his opponent’s supporters refused to be counted claiming that their fellow voters were locked up

 “Electoral commission put on 11:00Am as the time when voters should be in line to be counted but some voters decided to come late hence being locked up outside the polling station,” Mubiru noted.
