The Ministry of ICT and National Guidance issues a statement to brief the public and the media on the post-election situation in Uganda following the conclusion of the general electoral cycle. The elections for President, Parliament, Mayors, and Local Council V Chairpersons have largely been conducted in a peaceful and orderly manner, reflecting the commitment of Ugandans to democracy and stability. Government commends citizens, the Electoral Commission, security agencies, and the media for their respective roles during this period.
However, a few isolated incidents of indiscipline and attempted violence have been recorded, necessitating lawful intervention by security agencies to safeguard lives and property. This statement provides clarity on the security measures undertaken, the rationale behind recent actions by government, and reaffirms the commitment to maintaining peace, rule of law, and constitutional order.
Below is the detailed statement.
