- The High Court in Kampala nullified Elias Luyimbazi Nalukoola's election as Kawempe North MP on May 26, 2025, declaring the seat vacant.

- The court found that the March 2025 by-election violated the Parliamentary Elections Act, involved voter disenfranchisement of over 16,000 people, and illegal campaigning on election day.
- Justice Bernard Namanya ruled that campaigning on the day of the election violated provisions of the Parliamentary Elections Act, and that the identified irregularities had a substantial impact on the election results.
- The Electoral Commission is required to hold a new election within 60 days, and Kawempe North will proceed to a fresh vote unless this ruling is reversed by an appellate court.
