Common Man's Party launches 'Power 10' vote-protection initiative in Kampala

Common Man's Party presidential candidate Mubarak Munyagwa told journalists at the party headquarters in Kampala that the party was launching a nationwide 'Power 10' initiative to place ten trained volunteers at every polling station to monitor voting and collect declaration of results forms. He invited other opposition parties to join and accused the Electoral Commission of failing to restrain ruling NRM operatives during the campaign. Party chairman James Watentena said the structure would operate within the law.
