Police have fired tear gas to disperse Voters in Soroti East in Soroti City as voters in four polling stations turn violent amid allegations of voter ferrying.

The polling station includes; Kikandani, Acip, TesoIn and Moruapesur.

The fracas ensued when supporters of the aspirant John Robert Esaru alleged that some people were being ferried by the camp of Abdul Latif, another aspirant  to vote, this forced the elections that had already started to be stopped, and they voters could not allow any voting to go on.

This promoted the returning officers to call for guidance and help from district NRM leadership, because the voters became uncontrollable.

Police and army had to intervene, in a civilian approach, but that did not yield any results, it forced the tear gas to be forced.
