Bishop Robert K. Muhiirwa of the Fort Portal Catholic Diocese has called on Uganda's Electoral Commission to uphold its constitutional duty of organizing free and fair elections in 2026 without favoring any political party. Speaking during an Easter message at Virika Parish in Fort Portal City on Thursday, Bishop Muhiirwa said all political parties must be given equal opportunity in the electoral process, warning against violence and political favoritism. “With the elections approaching next year, we are calling upon the Electoral Commission to undertake the necessary electoral reforms to pave the way for free and fair elections,” he said. “We must not allow violence or favoritism toward any political party. All parties deserve a level ground,” he added.
