Following the Electoral Commision’s decision to suspend CCEDU from conducting election-related activities on July 4th 2018, a meeting was held today 24 December 2018 between CCEDU and the Electoral Commission (EC), both parties resolved to immediately renew their partnership and adopt an agreed upon communication strategy.
The Electoral Commission will in due course formally communicate on the renewed engagement and cooperation.
CCEDU describes itself as a coalition that brings together over 800 similar-thinking civil society organisations and over 8,000 individuals who advocate for electoral democracy in Uganda.
While announcing the suspension of CCEDU in July, Electoral Commission (EC) chairperson, Justice Simon Byabakama Mugyenyi, said they had resolved to suspend CCEDU as partners in disseminating voter education messages and as an election observer for being partisan.
