At least 15 presiding officers overseeing elections in Kiryandongo District have been transferred ahead of Tuesday’s parliamentary residual election in Kibanda North Constituency, following allegations that they were siding with some of the candidates.
The most affected presiding officers are from Mutunda, Kiryandongo, and Diima sub-counties.
The identities of the transferred officers have been concealed as investigations continue. They are accused of colluding with some of the parliamentary candidates contesting for the Kibanda North seat.
Rashid Musinguzi, the District Returning Officer for Kiryandongo says that fifteen presiding officers had been transferred to allow investigations to proceed without interference.
