Police in Nabweru are holding three people suspected of unlawfully possessing electoral materials during the ongoing voting exercise. The incident happened on Tuesday, 4th February 2026, at Zimbena Polling Center, raising concern among voters and election officials at the station.
According to police, the suspects were found with materials related to the election process that they were not legally allowed to have. Security officers quickly stepped in, recovered the items, and took the individuals into custody to prevent any possible interference with the voting process. The situation was brought under control to ensure that voting could continue smoothly.
Authorities confirmed that the recovered exhibits are now in police custody as part of the investigation. Statements from witnesses and election officials at the polling center have also been recorded to help establish exactly what happened and how the suspects obtained the materials.
ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, the Deputy Public Relations Officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police, said investigations are ongoing. He assured the public that police are committed to protecting the integrity of the electoral process and warned that anyone found breaking election laws will face legal action.
Security presence has since been maintained around the polling center to guarantee order and public confidence as the voting exercise continues. Police have urged citizens to remain calm and report any suspicious activities to authorities immediately.
