The Court of Appeal has nullified the election of DP’s Wakayima Musoke as Nansana Municipality MP. This upheld a ruling of the High court, nullifying the election of Wakayima Musoke as Nansana Municipality MP.
On July 20, 2016, Justice Vincent Okwanga of the High Court said the name Wakayima Musoke Nsereko which he used for his nomination for the seat does not appear in the voters’ register of Nansana Municipality but rather the name Musoke Hannington Nsereko which validly appears on his national identification card.
The Judge then declared NRM’s Robert Kasule Ssebunya, who had become second in the elections, as the area MP. The Court of Appeal ruling today means that NRM’s Robert Sebunya Kasule will now replace Wakayima in parliament without going through a by-election.
