Kampala mayoral poll riddled with vote rigging

Voters at the polling station entered into a verbal exchange with the polling officials, that nearly went to blows. They were alleging that there were ballot papers in the boxes even before they begun the voting exercise.

Thanks,Beatf we are all entitled to our opinions,it is good to dissagree.About what i have done for Uganda you see it everyday,but you have no eyes.It is true Nyakana lost on that day ,am talking about,i was the only one in the crowd supporting him.

@babyfacemonk1968 Give me  a break and it's time you respect sports men in our country.. FAILED BOXER...? right..this sounds like a NUGU....There is time for everything and he did his job well like any other sports man..Talk about his politics side but not his sports side. What have you done as a Ugandan for your country??? It is easy to sit and write comments about people but never try to dig into the cause of the problem. We need young leaders and not old men and Mr. Nyakana represents.

@Ganjastar What do u mean numbered?? I never knew that some people can be so ignorant. Disagree but in a polite and civilized way.

Something is wrong with Ugandans, even if you don't agree with Mr. Nyakana I don't think one should attack him because of his Boxing background. Nelson Mandela was a Boxer but that didn't make him a bad man. We should thank him for lifting the Ugandan flag while he was a world champion. No one appreciates that. Kampla has been in DP hands for the last 2decades, not forgetting SEYA....Stealing votes is not only bad but we should condemn it.... both parties have been stealing votes...

Lord, where are we heading? Where is Uganda moving to? This is not acceptable.  There have to be another way of voting. Don't let these village snake killers get involved in mayor vote. What is the world going to think? Shame upon Uganda. find a solution for this problem.

Slowly,my country is sliding towards it 's day of rage,two bit failed boxers like Nyakana are now trying to be leaders,well he has met his match in these poor but honorable men,don't be astonished if suddenly they find themselves changing the direction of the nation,as they have done here against all odds.My nation's problem is the elite who cannot now think out of that box. By standing their ground the elections have been postponed,my heart goes out to them,round one to them and my gratitude.

Notice Captain Tight-Lipped in a black t-shirt... Not snitching.
