High Court in Kampala has dismissed National Unity Platform"s (NUP) Fred Nyanzi’s petition against Kampala Central Mp Mohammed Nsereko.

At twed tower court of appeal, Justice Jessy Byaruhanga says, the Petitioner didn’t provide evidence of the non compliance with the electoral laws. 

Nyanzi has been ordered to pay costs.

In 2021, the Electoral Commission declared Nsereko as the winner of the Kampala Central MP seat with 16,998 votes against Nyanzi’s 15,975 votes. The Commission went ahead to gazette Nsereko on February 7th, 2021. However, Nyanzi was dissatisfied with the results and the general conduct of the elections. 

He petitioned the High Court to nullify the victory of Nsereko, citing instances of vote stuffing, bribery, and wrong invalidation of votes by the Electoral Commission, among other claims.

While speaking to media jubilating Mp Nsereko thanked all his supporters and the legal team for the tremendous job done, though Mr Nsereko's legal team said that it wasn't contented with the court ruling.
