The NRM candidate and his supporters accused the polling officials for opening the polling station without the ten witnesses as stipulated by the electoral commission laws and assaulted the head teacher of the school hosting the polling station, accusing him of voter bribery. At a nearby station, the same group started another fight and the NRM group was pushed out of the station by NUP supporters. One person was reportedly injured and hospitalised. [size=no report]
