The Ankole Times publication regrets the publication of the story titled “Who stole mzee sabalwanyi’s votes? EC official dismisses missing million votes with laughs”, published earlier. Upon further review, we acknowledge that the quotes attributed to Mr. Richard Baabo, Director of Operations at the Electoral Commission, were not factually accurate.
The inaccuracies arose from misinformation provided by our reporter.
We sincerely apologize to the Electoral Commission and Mr. Richard Baabo for the incorrect portrayal of their statements.
The Ankole Times holds journalistic integrity and truth in the highest regard and will take all necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of our reporting moving forward.
We appreciate the vital role the Electoral Commission plays in Uganda’s democratic process and recognize the importance of factual and responsible journalism. We commit to stricter editorial reviews to avoid similar errors in the future.
Once again, we extend our deepest apologies to all parties affected by this misinformation.
