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.
The Court also held that Mufumbiro and his legal team did not adduce sufficient evidence to prove that the alleged irregularities, if any, affected the final result in a substantial manner as required by the Parliamentary Elections Act.
Announcing the appointment in a letter dated June 22nd, 2026, President Museveni informed Kasolo that he would assume the role of Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, pending the presence of a substantive minister.
Although the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Ugandan embassies have the prime duty to support Ugandans, including traditional leaders, wherever they are diplomatically, they ought to do so with respect after fact-checking.
