Building Africa’s investigative home requires leadership that walks the talk. Proud to see the @DailyMonitor spotlight the impact of the Hard Questions show and our commitment to evidence-based reporting. We are just getting started.
Thank you @DailyMonitor for sharing our story. It was such an honor to be hosted and interviewed by one of the most respected journalist of our time @edgarbatte. Let us keep asking the #hardquestions @AfricanIIJ

The @UgandaEC suggests intervening mid-vote to remove ballots where fingerprints don't match serial numbers. This implies opening the ballot box during voting. A box must remain sealed until the end. Unsealing it early invalidates the result.

How do you audit an election without a final voter register? You cannot. The Electoral Commission says they are still cleaning the list, which creates a loophole to inflate voter numbers by millions without challenge.

The law requires a conclusive voter register when presidential candidates are nominated. Yet the commission is still cleaning the list with only weeks remaining. This creates doubt among stakeholders and voters. We examine why the numbers keep shifting on Hard Questions.
