Uganda, Sept. 23 -- A continental body has urged government not to suppress the opposition under the guise of enforcing the Covid-19 guidelines as the race for the 2021 general elections gains momentum.
The coordinator of the African Governance Architect, Mr Michael Aboneka, said government has instead looked on as some politicians who subscribe to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), freely go on with politicking untouched.
"Political parties too should be allowed space to converse for support and fairly compete in the elections. As previously seen, most opposition parties have not been allowed to compete fairly as their campaigns, party meetings have been stopped in the name of COVID-19 SOPs violation," Mr Aboneka said.
