Election Related Single source Kampala 28 Jan 2026 Severity: 2/5

The Independent reported that supporters and agents of NRM woman councillor candidate Goreti Katana and NUP's Teddy Nabwami clashed verbally over a vote polling officials had declared invalid, temporarily halting tallying. Security personnel intervened and dispersed crowds; the presiding officer said a tick crossing into another candidate's box was invalid, while the paper noted Electoral Commission guidelines treat such a vote as valid if its origin is identifiable.
