St Peter’s Naalya, a private secondary school in Kampala, is facing public scrutiny after reports emerged that school security personnel forcibly removed three independent political candidates from the campus at 3 AM on election day. According to eyewitnesses, the candidates were staying overnight to hold a community briefing when they were told to leave by the school’s headmaster, citing “security protocols.” Human rights groups have condemned the action as an infringement on political freedom, and the school’s board has issued a statement apologizing for the “miscommunication” while promising an internal investigation. The incident has sparked a broader debate about the role of private institutions in political processes.
