Nalukoola to Appeal Ruling Nullifying Kawempe North Election Victory - The Xavie Radio Ug

  • The High Court in Kampala nullified Elias Luyimbazi Nalukoola's election as Kawempe North MP on May 26, 2025, declaring the seat vacant.
  • The ruling followed a petition by NRM candidate Faridah Nambi alleging irregularities including failure to count results from polling stations and voter bribery.
  • 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.
