Two weeks ago, the association postponed the elections due to internal conflict between the presidential candidates concerning the voting process. Although presidential candidate Manisul Semanda, alias King Saha, was against the digitisation of the process, the association maintained that it wouldn't change its stance.

According to the UMA leaders, a physical voting process is too expensive in terms of logistics. The association agreed on a digital procedure to avoid these unnecessary costs due to the relatively small number of registered voters.

Some of the candidates have taken to their social channels to let their fans and potential voters know to engage.

Only registered voters have valid votes using a code that the association issued for the elections. Starting from 9am to 5pm each registered member of the Uganda Musicians Association will be voting for their chosen candidates by dialing *260# and following prompts.

Uganda Musicians Association Presidential candidates: Cinderalla Sanyu (Cindy), Ramathan Mutebi (Lord Bitemu) and Manisul Ssemanda (King Saha). Uganda Musicians Association Vice President candidates: Hanson Baliruno Madela, Mukiibi Sadat (Khalifa Aganaga), Kusiima Irene and Andrew Ojambo (Daddy Andre).

Uganda Associations General Secretary candidates: Ampaire Allan (Toniks) Phina Mugerwa (Masanyalaze) and Sempija Dan (Omukunja Atasera). Uganda Musicians Associations Treasurer: Kigozi William George (Geosteady) and Kyaggambirwa Geoffrey (Chagga).

A section of the contestants is disgruntled with the digital voting process and regret paying money to the UMA electoral committee to run for the different posts.
