RAILA CALLS FOR FREE, FAIR
AND TRANSPARENT ELECTIONS IN
UGANDA:
Uganda’s elections to be held on
Thursday, February 18, are critical
to the future stability of the
country and the strengthening of
the ideals of democracy in this
neighbouring country and the
region. The elections also present
a critical test to the country’s
commitment to the ideals of a free
and fair electoral contest that it
has long fought for.
The Coalition for Reforms and
Democracy appeals to the
Government and the people of
Uganda, the ruling party and the
Opposition to support a peaceful,
transparent and credible electoral
process, before, during, and after
the voting.
We appeal to the Government and
the electoral authorities to ensure
a level playing field and a
transparent conduct of the
process.
It is critical that the State and the
electoral authorities ensure an
environment prevails that makes it
easy and possible for all voters to
cast the ballot. Security and crime
prevention agencies need to
support the process and ensure it
is free of intimidation.
We particularly appeal to the
youth to remain focused the
future stability and progress of
their country and refuse to be
dragged into schemes that
undermine that future.
We appeal for calm in these final
hours to the vote. We appeal to all
parties to observe the rule of law
and avoid violence. Law breakers
and perpetrators of violence must
be dealt with fairly but firmly,
regardless of the parties and
candidates they support.
Uganda remains Kenya’s biggest
trading partner in the region that
is also home to thousands of
Kenyans in various professions
and businesses. We appreciate
these ties and friendship and we
wish them to continue. Uganda’s
stability and success is therefore
of utmost importance to Kenya.
Good luck to all the parties and
the people of Uganda in this
election.
