Uganda, Nov. 18 -- Local leaders and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) from Tooro Sub-region have asked government to expedite electoral reforms to allow a smooth parliamentary scrutiny before the 2026 general election.

The CSO members under their umbrella body, Kabarole NGO/CBO Association (KANCA), said "since the Supreme Court recommended electoral reforms in 2016, government has remained slow on implementation."

Fort Portal City workers' Councilor Prosper Businge said absence of electoral reforms creates unfairness which disrupts democratic processes.

"We need to push our MPs to ensure that we have electoral reforms. We don't want government to come at the last hour telling us that there is no time," he remarked on Thursday.
