Posted by: Eninu William in Uganda news February 16, 2021

A former UK MP for Stockton South in England, Dr. Paul Williams has expressed his interest in Ugandan Politics, asking that the recently concluded elections be organized afresh.

The former UK MP also wants aid to Uganda suspended by the UK and other western powers

“My views on news the UK Govt’s suspended a small amount of aid to Ugandan military and police after Nov 2020 arrest of Bobi Wine. It’s time for the UK, US, EU, and AU to join the millions of Ugandans who voted for change and say ‘enough is enough’,” Williams said.

According to Williams, there must be an insistence on Museveni stepping down and Uganda organizes a fresh election.

“We must insist Museveni step down. And they run new elections independently in a free and fair climate so that the will of the people of Uganda can be heard. Until that happens all military, development and other co-operation and support should cease,” he said.

Williams first expressed his dissatisfaction with Ugandan elections after EC announced Museveni winner. Museveni having obtained 58% of the vote against Bobi Wine’s 35%.

He blamed Museveni for using the excuse of COvID-19 to restrict the campaign activities of the opposition.

“Internet shutdown on government orders from day before the election until now. Evidence of stuffed ballot boxes in Gulu, Kitgum, Tororo. Returning officers found with pre-ticked declaration forms in Kawempe. Ballot papers delivered very late to opposition strongholds in Kampala,” Williams specifically noted.
