Ntsaluba said as far as the general elections are concerned, everything as gone well so far.

They are also satisfied with the report they have received from the Independent Electoral Commission.

“As was expected, the biggest number of voters was in London and of course as I have indicated previously indicated.”

Ntsaluba added that they have deployed a team of Foreign Affairs in London, for assistance.
