An application filed by Faridah Nambi Kigongo, the NRM’s Flagbearer for the March 13^th Kawempe North MP bye-election seeking a vote recount has flopped even before being heard.

Nambi represented by Atwijukire Dennis Advocates had filed the application at the Kawempe Chief Magistrate’s Court in Miscellaneous Cause No. 22/2025.

However, in a letter dated Tuesday, 25^th March, 2025, Atwijukire writes to the Kawempe Chief Magistrate withdrawing the application.

“We have instructions from the Applicant (Nambi) to withdraw the Application. The 1^st Respondent (Electoral Commission) has already gazzetted the 2^nd Respondent (Nalukola) and so the application has been overtaken by events,” reads the letter.

Nambi had earlier written to the Electoral Commission on 21^st March, 2025 seeking for a vote recount. Nambi lost to NUP’s Nalukoola who garnered 17,939 votes against her 9,058 votes as gazzetted by the Electoral Commission.
