In Bushenyi—

The electoral commission registrar for Bushenyi district Godfrey Mbabazi has today afternoon declared Annah Kajoojo as district councilor for Kyabugimbi.

Kajoojo was announced a winner after her only opponent Moses Nabimanya Mwesigye was disqualified on grounds that he did not resign from public service as an office supervisor at Bushenyi chief magistrate’s court before contesting.

Annah Kajoojo petitioned the independent electoral commission of Uganda and the chairman of the commission Justice Simon Byabakama Mugyenyi ruled that indeed Nabimanaya faulted the law and took to active politics without resigning from his job at Bushenyi chief Magistrate’s court.

Annah Kajoojo is not new in the district council as she was a secretary for social service / minister in Chairman Willis Bashasha’s regime that ran from 2011-2016.

This means that there will be no voting for directly elected councilor in Kyabugimbi since Annah Kajoojo is unopposed.

In Kitagwenda—

The Electoral commission led by Justice Simon Byabakama has cancelled the nomination of Kitagwenda district interim Chairman Robert Mugabe due to alleged forgery of PLE results

Mugabe’s troubles started last year on Dec 7th, when a concerned voter in Kitagwenda district Kenneth Tumwebaze petitioned UNEB citing irregularities in the PLE results of Robert Mugabe

Mugabe was later called to appear before UNEB in December last year for hearing but he refused and instead ran to high court in Fort Portal where he obtained an order restraining UNEB from probing the authenticity of his PLE results.

The same high court however on 14^th Dec.2020 dismissed his case with costs.

In Bushenyi—

 Prof. Tarsis Kabwegyere Bazaana has accepted defeat from his rival Mbwatekamwa Gaffa Louis.

The 80 year old politician was however hesitant to speak about his retirement and whether he is likely to stand come 2026 when he will be 85 years.

Kabwegyere who had run out of NRM after he was defeated in primaries stood against Mbwatekamwa as an independent candidate with authorization from the party.

He was however defeated again by Mbwatekamwa in the 14^th Jan. 2021 general elections.

Kabwegyere has been a politician since 1980’s and he formed UPM with Prof. Kamuntu alongside President Museveni but they disagreed along the way, Museveni continued to the bush, while Kamuntu and Kabwegyere went back to their respective parties of UPC, DP.

After the 1985 bush war, Kabwegyere was the first person to join Museveni as minister whereas Kamuntu was later made a minister.  

www.mknewslink.com tried to reach out to Kamuntu who also lost his seat to Prof. Elijah Mushemeza but his mobile phone could not be reached.
