Speaking to our reporter yesterday evening, Mr Misaki alleged that the elections were marred by violence, alteration of declaration forms and election results, as well as the participation of individuals whose names did not appear on the voters’ register.

He argued that the reported irregularities undermined the credibility of the election outcome and called for a repeat of the polls.

Mr Misaki also alleged that some of his agents and supporters were arrested and detained at Kasese Central Police Station following the reported election violence and irregularities at polling stations.

According to Misaki, he is consulting with a legal team led by Counsel Geoffrey Sibendire Bigogo of Sibendire and Co. Advocates.

Meanwhile, the newly elected LC I Chairperson for Kitsutsu II Village in Munkunyu Sub-county, Kasese District, NRM’s Mr Lawrence Mulemba Gambi, has pledged to work with members of the opposition to promote unity, peace, and education in the area.

The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) flag bearer in the LC I chairperson elections for Nyamwamba West Cell, Kasese Municipality, Mr Misaki Kule Isembasu, has threatened to petition the Electoral Commission, demanding fresh elections over alleged electoral irregularities.

Meanwhile, Kasese District Woman Member of Parliament Hon Sarah Masereka Baleke has pledged to collaborate with newly elected LC I chairpersons to promote effective service delivery.
