A vehicle belonging to the political assistant of incumbent NRM MP Nathan Byanyima was set on fire in Bukanga County, Isingiro, at about 8:30am after its occupants were accused of carrying stuffed ballot boxes, according to the Daily Monitor. Byanyima accused independent rival Julius Tumuhimbise of causing chaos, which Tumuhimbise denied; regional police commander Hillary Kulayigye said a team was investigating ballot-stuffing allegations in Isingiro.
Disputed: Byanyima blames his rival Julius Tumuhimbise for the chaos; Tumuhimbise denies involvement and asked police to investigate, while a resident said the car was burnt because people suspected it carried stuffed ballots.
