Nulu officially trounces MP Abas

The National Resistance Movement –NRM tribunal has dismissed the
election petition against Byamukama Nulu Joseph as the party flag bearer
Kitagwenda County.

Byamukama won the party primaries held on 4th September, 2020, with
62% defeating six other contenders, including the incumbent MP Agaba
Abbas Mugisha alias Dikuura. Others are Simpson Tukamushaba, George
William Spencer, Robert Mwambusya, Ether Tumwebaze and one
Bataringaya.

However, Agaba Abbas Mugisha petitioned the NRM electoral commission
asking it to nullify Byamukama’s victory citing grave irregularities,
electoral malpractices, multiple voting among others.

In his petition, Agaba alleged that there was failure to count his
voters at different polling stations, vote bribery and failure to
consider the NRM register. However the NRM tribunal dismissed the
petition yesterday saying the petitioner did not provide evidence and
announced Hon Nulu Byamukama as a winner
