The Electoral Commission has come under criticism from the National Unity Platform-NUP party leaders in Sembabule District over the delay to complete local council elections in their area.

However, Ssemanda argues that even when the commission organized residual elections that were conducted on February 8, it skipped four electoral areas whose fate remains unknown to date.
