Campaign Financing has become one of Uganda’s challenges in the recent years especially in the electoral processes that has compromised the electoral outcomes. Kick Corruption out of Uganda had 8 research Assistants (RAs) in six constituencies of Kabale and Kanungu districts. These RAs were tracking campaign financing by aspiring candidates especially MPs and presidential candidates during their political rallies.-
Findings from the research indicated in early November that Kigezi region ranked one of highest in Uganda in Campaign Financing. This prompted KICK-U and ACFIM to come up with a No Vote Buying Campaign that saw some of the highest bidders during the political campaigns lose miserably. At the end of the day voters came up with a slogan of ‘’Eat widely and Vote wisely.’’
