In Nabweru, Nansana Municipality, Agatha Mulawa, a local resident, woke up to find people sitting on benches near the town council offices.

A first-time voter, Mulawa had assumed that registration was automatic after receiving a national ID.

Otafiire emphasized that politicians are elected based on their contributions to development within their constituencies and urged Amongi to contest in Oyam if she believes she has served her constituents well.
