NUP's Joyce Bagala is duly elected Woman MP for Mityana

WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on Twitter

Joyce Bagala of the National Unity Platform (NUP) was declared the validly elected Woman Member of Parliament for Mityana District on Friday morning by the Court of Appeal.

The Mubende High Court decision, which declared Bagala’s victory null and void due to noncompliance with electoral laws, was overturned by three appellate court Justices led by Geofrey Kiryabwire.

Minister Judith Nabakooba, a lands minister running on the National Resistance Movement (NRM) ticket, accused Bagala of electoral malpractices such as voter bribery and the use of soldiers to intimidate voters.

Bagala defeated the Lands Minister, Hon Nabakooba, by a margin of 16,000 votes. However, in March 2021, Hon. Nabakooba filed a petition to challenge the election results, alleging that Ms Bagala was not validly elected to represent Mityana district because the Electoral Commission failed to secure the necessary conditions.
