Court has nullified the election of NUP's Joyce Bagala Ntwantwa as the Women's Representative for Mityana District following a petition by NRM Judith Nabakooba, the Minister of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development and a former police spokesperson who came second in the election.
Mityana District Returning officer, Mr Stephen Makubuya on January 15 declared Ms Bagala of the National Unity Platform (NUP) winner of the hotly contested race after she got 64,633 votes. The other candidate in the race, Ms Brenda Nabaliisa, garnered 1,515 votes. Nabakooba who came second in the January 14 elections after getting 48,322 votes accused the Electoral Commission (EC) and Ms Bagala (respondents) of conspiring to steal her victory.
During one of the hearings, the petitioner clearly told court that she had no evidence about the allegations she filed in the petition of voters bribery. So we wonder which evidence did court use to nullify this election!
