The Mukono Central Division Council has protested new electoral reforms being implemented by the Electoral Commission ahead of the 2026 General Elections.

During a district council committee meeting chaired by the speaker for Mukono Central Division, Mr Allan Mawanda, last week, councillors accused the Mukono District returning officers and Members of Parliament of alleged betrayal by merging their areas of representation without conducting wider consultations.

The EC has carried out two exercises so far, including demarcation of electoral areas and reorganisation of polling stations.

Under the new electoral arrangement, Mukono Central Division will be represented by only seven directly elected councillors down from 20 and women councillors will be seven down from 13, making a total of 14.

Mukono Central Division was demarcated into seven areas for directly elected councillors and women councilors, including Nsuube-Kauga ward, Ntawo A, and Ntawo B, Namumira-Anthony A, and Namumira-Anthony B, Ggulu A, and Ggulu B. The demarcated areas will bring one directly elected councillor and one Woman councillor to the municipal council.
