Court hears Moses Kasibante suit against Singh Katongole for Rubaga North MP seat

Some Voters from Rubaga North Constituency have said since February this year, they don’t have a parliamentary representative and that the seat is vacant.

Michael Mpoza and Bashir Serwanga, who were Moses Kasibante’s polling agents, have told court that they knew him as the area MP when the Electoral Commission declared him on 20th February, but were surprised that he was not sworn in.

Serwanga and Mpoza said they heard on radio that there is someone called Singh who was sworn in before his set date, yet he was not elected for the said position.

Kasibante sued the Electoral Commission and Singh Malwaha Pamindah challenging the vote recount exercise which the High Court has stopped.

The EC had declared Kasibante the winner but the vote recount overturned the results handing the victory to Singh.

Justice Kibuuka Musoke is presiding over the case which continues next Thursday and Friday.

Kasibante wants court to nullify Singh’s election and compel the EC to conduct fresh elections.

Dr James Akampumuza represented NRM’s Singh while Enos Tumusiime appeared for the Electoral Commission.

Medard Lubega Seggona and Abdullah Kiwanuka represented Kasibante.
