The Democratic Party and the rulling NRM have deployed their supporters in different polling stations during the Busiro North by elections this Thursday to curtail vote rigging allegations on either side. A low turn up is being reported but voting is going on smoothly in most areas.

According to the head of DP parliamentary committee on by elections, Joseph Ssewungu, over 1000 youths have been stationed at the different polling centers in a bid to avert any plans of vote rigging or ballot stuffing by their rivals.

Ssewungu expresses confidence that the party will secure a landslide win in the elections.

He is however worried of voter bribery and rigging but warns those intending to do so that DP is watching them sternly.

The race is between former Vice president, Gilbert Bukenya, Dps Caster Bukenya, and independents Henry Kiwuuwa and Kanzara Theopista Baliluno
