Kayunga Chief Magistrate’s Court has today Wednesday, January 28, 2026 upheld National Unity Platform’s (NUP) Harriet Nakwedde’s victory as the legally elected Woman Member of Parliament for Kayunga district.
Magistrate Kaggwa in his ruling, faulted Birungi for filing uncertified DR forms before court, hence dismissing the application and calling on the Electoral Commission to make sure that Nakwedde is fully gazetted as the elected Woman MP for Kayunga district.
Birungi had alleged that she was denied victory when the Kayunga district Returning Officer, Douglas Twine declared Nakwedde winner without tallying all the polling stations.
Nakwedde was declared winner with 20,753 votes, followed by the incumbent, Ida Erios Nantaba (Independent) with 16,138, and Birungi third with 15,790 votes.
