President Museveni has said that he no longer wants this practice of members of opposition going to guard votes in different constituencies.

Museveni says that whoever is found there should be arrested by the police.

The president says that these opposition politicians especially MPs and opposition party leaders who go to areas where there are bye elections are the one failing NRM from winning.“This “practice of mercenaries MUST STOP,” Museveni has ordered.

He however forgets that freedom of movement and freedom of association are constitutional rights that cannot be given or removed from anyone in Uganda by the government. Even the electoral commission, the body mandated to manage elections in Uganda has not made any pronouncement on the matter.
