EC Announces Schedule for Local Council Elections
The Electoral Commission (EC) has officially unveiled the schedule for the highly anticipated Village (LC I), Parish (LC II), and Women Council elections, which will be the first grassroots leadership polls in Uganda in several years. This significant event is set to begin on July 6, 2026, with the verification and registration of village residents. The process will culminate on August 10, when Parish Chairpersons will be elected, marking a pivotal moment for local governance in the region. This announcement comes after several extensions of the terms for Local Council leaders, which were primarily due to funding challenges. EC Chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama Mugenyi expressed his appreciation for the community's patience during this prolonged period. He highlighted the crucial role these elections play in enhancing local governance and ensuring that the voices of the residents are heard and represented. Residents of Kamwokya are strongly encouraged to engage actively in this electoral process. Your participation is vital in shaping the leadership that will guide your community in the coming years. By voting, you can ensure that your concerns and aspirations are addressed by those in power. For those seeking more information about the electoral program and the registration procedures, it is advisable to consult the official communications from the Electoral Commission. This is an opportunity for everyone to take part in the democratic process and contribute to the future of Kamwokya.
