EC 2021 general elections and nomination

We Do Not Know Anything, EC Denies Having Knowledge About Bobi’s Move To Fire Security.

The Electoral Commission ( EC ) has denied having any knowledge about Robert Kyagulanyi’s decision to fire security given to him by the State. Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine came out to say he does not want the protection of security personnel the EC gave him.

He claimed that they joined with the police on 3rd November 2020 to assault him.

While speaking to the journalists, Justice Simon Byabakama, EC chairperson said Bobi Wine has not officially informed him of the matter.

He even added that they are not fully aware of the events that led to the scuffles that happened. These scuffles happened just outside the premises where the nomination took place. For this reason they haven’t done anything about it.

Bobi Wine added that as a Presidential candidate, the EC entitled him security and a police patrol vehicle. It is because of this that they have retained the car their.

He however confirmed that the news of Robert Kyagulanyi firing the security personnels reached him but also not officially.

This is a very awkward situation and matter. If the Electoral commission claims they have done nothing about what happened because they are waiting for an official visit from Robert Kyagulanyi then its really mind blowing.

Its really fishy to say they are not aware about something that happened in their own presence.

We thought after nomination, the protection and safety of the candidates is in the hands of the electoral commission. It is just sad to hear how light authorities are taking this matter.
