Jinja East Member of Parliament Nathan Igeme Nabeta has been thrown out of parliament for rigging elections for the second time in less than five years.
Nabeta, who was given matching orders by the High Court in Jinja, becomes the 15th National Resistance Movement (NRM) MP to be evicted from Parliament.
Today, his eviction follows a petition filed by Paul Mwiru, the former MP, who now returns to the 10th Parliament.
In a related development the High Court in Jinja has nullified the election of Robert Ntende, the MP for Bunya South County in Mayuge. Ntende, a first time MP, is an NRM-leaning Independent.
By press time it was not possible to establish whether the two would appeal their respective rulings.
