Uganda’s electoral commission has denied election results were rigged, after opposition leaders accused officials of pre-ticking ballot sheets and adjusting results after long-time leader Yoweri Museveni won a fifth term in office.
Jotham Taremwa, a spokesman for the electoral commission, told Al Jazeera, that his office had not received any official complaint over allegations that ballots had been tampered with.
“I never saw that, I never heard that, we have not received that complaint. So I thought there were enough checks and balances to ensure that nothing is done.”
