5 NUP Polling Agents Abducted in Palaro as UPDF Accused of Election Intimidation | Breaking News

Breaking News from Northern Uganda.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) has raised alarm over the alleged kidnapping of five NUP polling agents in Palaro Sub-County, Gulu District. According to Gen. Sebastian Ogoni, the NUP spokesperson for Northern Uganda, the agents were reportedly abducted by armed men moving in a numberless drone vehicle following election activities.
In this explosive statement, Oello Samuel Sebi, an aspiring LC5 Chairperson for Gulu and former NUP coordinating officer and party observer for the Acholi Sub-Region, narrates disturbing accounts of:
Polling agents being chased away from polling stations
UPDF soldiers allegedly issuing ballot papers
Threats, beatings, and forced removals of NUP agents
Arrests and follow-ups by local operatives (“Gombolola Internal Security / GISO”)
A coordinated hunt for Declaration of Results (DR) forms
Sebi claims the agents were targeted after questioning why UPDF commanders were directly involved in ballot issuance, a role legally reserved for electoral officials. He further alleges that the officially declared results are fake and cooked, and that security operatives are now demanding the original DR forms, which he says contain the real results.
This video captures a critical moment in Uganda’s electoral process, raising serious concerns about:
Electoral transparency
Military involvement in civilian elections
Safety of polling agents
Integrity of declaration forms (DR Forms)
📌 NUP calls upon all polling agents to protect the DR forms and not hand them over to operatives.
