Meanwhile, after casting her vote on Wednesday, Nabilah claimed voter fraud from Lukwago’s camp and accused a number of politicians for failing her Lord Mayor’s ambitions.
“There is malpractice already, I have just heard at Christ the King civic centre the army has cordoned off the area, we are not saying that it is free and fair, we will assess the day’s election and it unfolds and ends,” she said.
