The Electoral Commission has also noted several reports of malicious acts

Finaly, the Electoral Commission joins with all Ugandans to welcome His
Holiness Pope Francis to Uganda. We congratulate the people of Uganda on
this unique opportunity to host the Pontiff a third time.
This should serve as a reminder to all Ugandans of the special position our
country holds in the world.
The visit takes place at a time when political campaigns are taking place by
candidates contesting for various elective positions. Let us use the visit to
promote the virtues of unity and peaceful co-existence.
Thank you for listening to me,
For God and my Country,
