As Uganda gears up for its remaining elections, the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) for Rukungiri District, Bron Kikanshemeza, has issued a strong call for peace and stability amid the electoral season. During a recent address, Kikanshemeza emphasized the importance of adhering to the Electoral Commission’s rules and cooperating with security personnel to ensure a smooth electoral process.
Highlighting the success of the recent presidential and parliamentary elections held on January 15, 2026, Kikanshemeza noted that the event was organized effectively and was largely free of violence. “There were no major cases of unrest during the elections,” he stated, expressing satisfaction with the level of security maintained previously. However, he mentioned a concerning incident where Angello Twinomuhangi, a candidate for the LC5 chairperson position, faced an attack by unknown assailants shortly before the elections. Kikanshemeza condemned such acts of violence, urging the community to strive for a peaceful environment during this politically charged period.
The RDC further encouraged Rukungiri residents to make a substantial effort to participate in all upcoming elections, not just the presidential and parliamentary contests. He remarked, “All elections are essential for the people to select their leaders at various levels, leaders who will work towards community development.” He urged citizens to recognize the importance of their votes in shaping the future of their district and the nation as a whole.
In closing, Kikanshemeza expressed gratitude to the public for their commitment to maintaining peace and security. He reassured residents that the current security measures in Rukungiri are up to standard and reiterated the necessity of discipline and vigilance to sustain a peaceful atmosphere.
