The Electoral Commission of Uganda has released an extensive electoral roadmap for the forthcoming Kikuube District LC V chairperson by-election, confirming June 10, 2026 as the official polling day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vote comes in the wake of the death of former district chairperson Peter Banura, whose sudden passing earlier this month created a vacancy in the top leadership of Kikuube District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roadmap Sets Pace for Electoral Activities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to EC Chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama, the electoral calendar is structured to ensure adequate preparation time for voters, candidates, and administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process will begin with a stakeholders\u2019 briefing on April 27, aimed at harmonising the roles of political parties, security agencies, civil society, and the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A voter register update exercise will run from April 28 to April 30, allowing new eligible voters to register and others to transfer or verify their voting details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be followed by the display of the voters\u2019 register from May 8 to May 12, a crucial step for public scrutiny and correction of any anomalies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidate Nomination and Campaign Period<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commission has scheduled May 25 and May 26 for the nomination of candidates at the district headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspirants must meet all legal requirements, including submission of nomination forms, academic qualifications, and endorsement by registered voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campaigns will officially commence on May 28 and conclude on June 8, giving candidates a limited but intense window to engage voters across the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observers expect campaigns to focus on service delivery, infrastructure, and the management of emerging oil-related opportunities in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polling Arrangements and Oversight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polling will take place on June 10, with the EC promising to deploy trained election officials and materials to all polling stations in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commission has emphasized that all activities will be conducted in line with Uganda\u2019s electoral laws to ensure credibility and fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
