In a show of security and caution, supporters of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party sought shelter on police patrol trucks as heavy rains poured down during a repeat voting exercise. The event was held to elect the party’s flag bearer for the Kireka Division Chairperson seat, a crucial position ahead of the 2026 general elections.
The rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the supporters, who were keenly watching the electoral process unfold. The police presence ensured a sense of order and security, allowing the voting exercise to proceed smoothly despite the inclement weather.
The NRM supporters’ brief respite on the police trucks provided a momentary distraction from the voting process, but the focus remained on selecting their candidate for the upcoming elections. The outcome of this exercise will likely play a significant role in shaping the party’s representation in the 2026 polls.
