FDC presidential candidate Nathan Nandala Mafabi has rejected the outcome of Uganda’s recently concluded presidential elections, accusing the state of widespread electoral malpractice, abuse of public resources, and institutional failures that compromised the vote.
Speaking to the media in Mbale today morning, Mafabi thanked his campaign team and supporters for their resilience under what he described as harsh and unequal campaign conditions.
He argued that the election results did not reflect the will of the people, claiming the outcome was predetermined and that many opposition supporters were discouraged from voting due to a lack of confidence in the process, including non-functional Biometric Machines.
Mafabi questioned the credibility of voter turnout figures released by the Electoral Commission, noting that while about 10 million voters reportedly cast ballots, a significant number of registered voters did not participate. The FDC leader also accused the Electoral Commission of acting as a tool of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), arguing that prolonged leadership under President Yoweri Museveni had weakened democratic institutions, saying political power is not permanent and the country belongs to its citizens.
