Uganda Will Deploy Security at All Polling Stations

Uganda is deploying security forces across the East African nation and at each of the 23,968 voting stations for tomorrow’s presidential and parliamentary elections, the police said.

“Anyone who tries to mess up around the polling stations will be arrested,” Inspector General of Police Major General Kale Kayihura told journalists today in Kampala, the capital. A terror alert remains active because of reports that al-Shabaab, the Somali militia with links to al-Qaeda, is preparing attacks during the vote, he said.
