The evertime-conscious Prime Minister, Prof. Apolo Nsibambi, was yesterday registered as the third voter at Quarry flats polling station B at Makerere University campus. He cast his vote at 9:35am.
Nsibambi was among the 10 voters who turned up to cast their votes between 9:30am and 1:00pm.
Though all polling stations were well facilitated, the turn-up was very poor in all polling stations at the university.
By 1:00pm, between one and 15 voters had cast their votes at nine polling stations. Nkrumah Hall had registered one voter by 11:30am.
Presiding officers at students' residential halls said the low turn-up was because the students were on holiday.

The presiding officer at Africa Hall, Allen Nakalembe, said out of the 580 voters, only four had turned up by12:30pm.
At Quarry flats polling station where lecturers, professors and prominent government officials were expected to cast their votes, the turn-up was dismal.
