The High Court in Kampala has dismissed two applications filed by Mercy Marion Alupo of NUP and Norma Susan Otai FDC for a temporary injunction and an interim order restraining the Electoral Commission from deleting their names from the national voters’ register.
Presiding over the matter today, Civil Division Judge Simon Peter Kinoobe dismissed the joint applications, ruling that the applicants had failed to justify grounds for the grant of the injunctions sought.
He instead directed both parties to concentrate on the main petition in which Alupo and Otai are seeking reinstatement on the register. The petitioner allege that the EC, acting on recommendations from the Kotolut and Kopeta Parish Tribunals, deleted their names on claims that they were not residents of Bukedea, allegations they insist are false.
