While speaking at Kagati Church of Uganda in Kyamakanda Archdeaconry under North Kigezi Diocese on October 12, Amanya told the congregation that the Electoral Commission has added new polling stations in Buyanja Sub-county to ease congestion and ensure smooth voting in areas with large numbers of voters.

He noted that the six-month exercise for people without National IDs and those renewing them will close in two weeks.
