Uganda’s High Court has reinstated Nalubowa’s legal challenge to the election of Nameere Kintu for the Masaka constituency. The petition, initially dismissed on procedural grounds, was revived after a Supreme Court ruling clarified the standards for contesting parliamentary results. Nalubowa alleges vote‑rigging and intimidation during the February elections, citing irregularities in several polling stations. The case will now proceed to a full hearing, where both parties will present evidence. Political analysts say the outcome could set a precedent for future election disputes in the country, while local voters await a resolution that could affect their representation in parliament.
