The Electoral Commission has thrown, Sr. Mathias Walukagga out of the Busiro East parliamentary race for lack of minimum formal qualification for the position.
Mr. Walukagga, a singer and first-time contender, had been selected by the National Unity Platform as its official candidate over incumbent Member Parliament Hon. Medard Sseggona in party primaries.
Mr. Sseggona, a senior lawyer who publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the process, opted to seek re-election as an independent candidate. The development dramatically reconfigures the contest and is likely to trigger political fallout within NUP, whose internal processes had already sparked friction in the constituency. END
