President Museveni Alleges Vote Manipulation in Kampala, Blames ONC for Negligence.

In relation to the 2021 Presidential elections, President Yoweri Museveni has maintained that the votes attributed to him were altered in the Kampala Metropolitan region.

President Museveni disclosed during a meeting with a group of NRM Village leaders from Kampala held at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala.

He used the opportunity to explain the poor performance of the NRM in Kampala during the recent general elections, attributing it to rigging by the opposition.

President Museveni held the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) responsible for the failure to perform their duties and detect any potential vote manipulation during the 2021 Presidential elections. He stated that their negligence made it possible for his votes to be altered.

“I had heard about the rigging of elections in Kampala. I heard that even my votes were changed,” Museveni said.

“That came from the ONC which was supposed to appoint some agents per village and fight those wars, but I do not know what happened,” Museveni claimed.

President Museveni called for a meeting with Hadija Uwizeye, who had recently been appointed to head the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), to provide a detailed report on the alleged vote manipulation during the 2021 Presidential elections.

According to Uwizeye's report, appointments had been made for agents and funds had been released to support their work, but the money was misused by those in charge.

At the time of the alleged vote manipulation, Milly Babalanda was in charge of the ONC. She currently serves as the Minister for the Presidency and is also implicated in a scandal involving Shs7b at the government printers.
