In the petition, Bwowe had contended that Nakawa West is a non-existent constituency and asked the court to cancel the nominations of Ssenyonyi, Happy Nasasira, Herbert Anderson Burora, Ephraim Okuye, Vincent Norbert Okumu, Wilberforce Kyambadde and Rwamiti Apuuli, and declare him the only validly nominated candidate to be elected unopposed.

“It is alleged that between 17 and 30 June 2026, at the Mitooma District Local Government offices, the accused diverted part of the funds to pay UGX31,162,400 for fuel that was never supplied, as well as allowances for road works that were allegedly never carried out. This resulted in a loss of UGX45,066,400 to government,” SHACH said.
