President Yoweri Museveni has reappointed Justice Simon Byabakama as the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) for another term.

In a letter dated January 5, 2024, addressed to the Speaker of Parliament, the president forwarded Byabakama’s name to the presidential appointment committee for vetting.

The president also reappointed Hajjati Aisha Lubega as the deputy chairperson and Stephen Tashobya as a commissioner.

The names will now be presented to Parliament for vetting and confirmation.

Members of the Commission serve for seven years and can be reappointed for one additional term.
