The Secretary General of the National Unity Platform (NUP), David Lewis Rubongoya, has expressed concern over the Electoral Commission’s failure to upload all declaration forms from polling stations following the recent elections.
Speaking at a press conference at the party headquarters in Kavule, Rubongoya said the missing forms raise questions about transparency in the electoral process.
“If all declaration forms were made publicly available, we could compare the official results with the copies collected by our agents nationwide,” he said, noting that this is key to understanding how Ugandans voted in the election that declared President Museveni of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) the winner.
Rubongoya urged the Electoral Commission to publish the remaining forms to allow independent scrutiny and comparison with party records, stressing that public access is essential for confidence and accountability in the electoral process.
While the Electoral Commission has stated that declaration forms are uploaded on its official portal to promote transparency, NUP insists several forms are still missing.
The press conference comes amid ongoing debates among political actors over the credibility and transparency of the recent elections.
