Logistical problems have delayed voting in Uganda’s presidential and parliamentary elections in many parts of the country amid an internet shutdown.

The delays have been blamed on failures of biometric identification kits, which some have linked to the network outage, as well as a lack of equipment in some places.

The electoral agency has apologised for the technical glitches and said officials were working to resolve them.

Meanwhile, in the presidential race, Yoweri Museveni who has been in power since 1986, is seeking a seventh successive victory.
