Democratic Party President General Norbert Mao says “There is already information circulating on pre-ticking of ballots and stuffing of ballot boxes ahead of January 14, 2021, and reports of tampering of ballots boxes sealed by the Electoral District Returning Officers country wide, this means that the elections has already been rigged.” Mao warns
It’s upon this background that Tabu is alleged to have been killed because he stood on principle of votes for merits.
“As far as we are concerned, the purpose of election is to bring about the legitimate government, so if it is not free and fair then the outcome will not be respected.” Mao says.
“You know we never did voter register verification because COVID-19 pandemic came in. so we are actually going to an election where we don’t have certainty about the kind of voter registration,” he says.
“The bottom line is we are not going to have legitimate government, because a legitimate government can only be when election is free and fair” he adds.
“The intimidation that if you don’t vote for us there will be war, Ugandans have seen wars before, for my experiences the place where the president comes from has not faced blood” Mao notes.
Mao made a press statement on Tuesday January 12 at the Northern Uganda Media Club in Gulu City.
Mao adds that he really doesn’t know what kind of Country we have, instead of building democracy we are going to build the military army, how we deal with people who are armed to the teeth, we are being pushed so far, and some of the things that are done to frustrate their campaign are too much
