The Rukungiri Woman MP by-election is underway this morning as NRM’ Winfred Matsiko and FDC’s Betty Muzanira battle for the seat.
Throngs of calm voters have already lined the major polling stations to cast their vote in one of the most contested constituencies.
Two days ago, President Museveni stormed the district and urged voters not to be ‘swayed’ by opposition.
FDC honcho Kizza Besigye flanked by Bobi Wine and other Opposition leaning politicians also did their vote hunting last rally in a bid to capture the seat.
After nearly a month of campaigning, the two sides who have over the weeks used all possible campaign tacts to sway voters to their side will finally close off the battle.
FDC is hoping for victory based on their last by-election win in Jinja that saw Paul Mwiru trounce NRM’s Nathan Igeme Nabeta.
