A new afro barometer survey has shown that 80% of respondents believe losers in tomorrow’s elections will not accept results.

The survey findings released yesterday showed that 57% of respondents predicted victory for Museveni compared to 21 % for NUP’s Robert Kyagulanyi.

Releasing the results, Francis Kibirige from AfroBarometer said the electoral commission needs to do more to have confidence in the electoral process after less than 50% believed the polls will be free and fair.

The findings further showed that 62% of the respondents called for relaxing of enforcement of covi19 regulations while 37% said police were justified in using force to enforce the regulations.

The survey involved 2400 adults Ugandans who were interviewed between 22 December 2020 and 7^th January 2021 in 300 enumeration areas across 110 districts.
