Obongi candidates accuse RDC of disrupting rally and seeking to disenfranchise voters; nine arrested

FDC candidate Hassan Kaps Fungaroo and independent candidate Harriet Joyo accused Obongi RDC Samuel Mpibaza Hashaka of interrupting a campaign rally for Joyo, ordering the arrest of her supporters and trying to disenfranchise voters by labelling them refugees. The RDC denied this, saying police, not he, arrested nine people accused of disrupting a rally for the incumbent Woman MP, Maneno Zumura, and that he had no intention of disenfranchising voters. The district returning officer said refugees are not eligible to vote.
