Why it matters
This by-election is critical for local representation in the Ugandan parliament and reflects the ongoing democratic process in the region.
The Electoral Commission has declared itself ready to conduct the Adjumani West parliamentary by-election on Thursday, September 17, with all voting materials received and arrangements in place for their distribution to the 114 polling stations.
Adjumani District Returning Officer Christine Akao Eunice said the commission had received all materials required for the election and was finalising arrangements to transport them to polling stations across the constituency.
She said distribution would be completed in time for polling to begin at 7am, as required by law.
“We have received every material needed for voting tomorrow. Arrangements have been made to ensure that the materials are transported to all the 114 polling stations to allow voting to start at 7am,” Ms Akao said.
She added that biometric voter verification machines would be used to verify voters before they cast their ballots.
