Mengo Court Chief Magistrate Esther Nansambu has dismissed Bobi Wine’s brother Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu petition calling for recounting of votes of 50 Polling stations gazetted in Kampala Central constituency.
On Tuesday, Sentamu petitioned Mengo Magistrate’s Court calling for recounting of votes in 50 of the 120 Polling stations in Kampala Central.
Muhammad Nsereko was declared winner after garnering 16,998 votes as his closest opponent, Nyanzi polled 15,975 giving a difference of 1,022 votes. Nsereko is the only MP who won the election in Kampala with the rest being won by National Unity Platform (NUP).
Through his Lawyers led by Anthony Wameli, Nyanzi averred that the electoral process was marred with malpractices and alterations of results. He told the Court that his client’s agents were threatened and chased away from polling stations.
Nyanzi contended the Electoral Commission connived with Nsereko to alter and manipulate results recorded on many of the Declaration of Results Forms.
