The Democratic Party flag bearer in the by-elections for Luwero district Woman Member of Parliament, Brenda Nabukenya has beaten other five candidates in the polls that were held yesterday 21st of November 2011.
The seat fell vacant after the High Court nullified the election of Rebecca Nalwanga of the National Resistance Movement on grounds that she bribed voters among other malpractices during the 18th February 2011 elections.
DP’s Nabukenya beat her closest challenger with 30 votes after polling 14’945 votes against NRM’s Rebecca Nalwanga who polled 14,915 votes.
Others in the race were the FDC’s Ziadah Gwokyalya 3,775, Anna Kirabo Asiimwe 3,687, Namagambe Elsie 2,193 and Lugudde Nabatanzi 191.
After declared the winner by the district returning officer Peter Kasozi, Nabukenya commended the people of Luwero for giving her mandate.
Nabukenya scoffed at the ruling party (NRM) saying that Ugandans are tired of the poor governance, corruption and embezzlement in the country.
