Kayunga Woman MP Ida Nantaba accuses EC officials of giving her campaign symbol to a rival

Electoral Malpractice Disputed Kayunga 21 Oct 2025 Severity: 1/5

Incumbent Kayunga Woman MP Ida Nantaba said she found the watch symbol she had printed on her posters already assigned to Independent candidate Teddy Bukirwa, and accused EC officials of conspiring with her rivals. District Returning Officer Douglas Twine said the symbol had been taken before Nantaba asked for it.

Disputed: Nantaba says EC officials conspired to give her symbol to a rival; the returning officer says the symbol was already taken before she expressed interest.
