2021 Parliamentary Election Petitions; Court has Nullified the Victory of Buwekula South County MP William Museveni.

The High Court in Mubende has nullified William Museveni Ndooli's election as the Buwekula South Constituency Member of Parliament and ordered for a by-election.

This follows a petition filed by his rival the National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer, Mr Fred Tumwesigye.

According to Justice Eva Luswata's ruling read by court registrar Godfrey Kaweesi on Tuesday, there was credible evidence of multiple voting during the January 14 election.

"The court finds not enough evidence pining the second (respondent) Mr William Museveni Ndooli for his involvement in bribing voters on January 14 2021, conniving with security personnel to threaten voters and therefore, Mr Ndooli pleaded not guilty of the election malpractice charge he was accused of.

However, judge also said there was enough evidence that proves that the first respondent (the Electoral Commission) failed to play its role in ensuring a free and fair election, as guided in the Constitution.

"…and court makes the following Orders; the election of the second respondent (Museveni Ndooli) as a Member of Parliament Buwekula South Constituency is set aside, a by-election is ordered to be held in Buwekula Constituency for a member of Parliament and the Electoral Commission award the petitioner the costs of this petition,” the judge ruled.

Mr Fred Tumwesigye said he was happy with the ruling, promising victory in the by-election.

"I am so happy that court ruled in my favour and I’m very ready for the by-election. I’m sure of a strong win in the by-election since we have got the first victory in court," Mr Tumwesigye said after the ruling.

However, Mr Ndooli Museveni who had contested as an independent said he would not allow “his victory to be robbed” and therefore will appeal against Justice Baguma’s decision.

"My people take heart the struggle continues, fished evidence was solely relied on, and this can't pass the test at the next stage," he said.

In his petition, Mr Tumwesigye who came second after getting 7479 votes, accused the Electoral Commission (EC) and Mr Museveni Ndooli of conspiring to steal his victory.

Mubende returning officer Ms Christine Kunuhira on January 15 declared Mr Ndooli as the duly elected MP of Buwekula South Constituency with 8185 votes, in a hotly contested election.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
