The loser in the Kampala Central MP race, Nyanzi Fred Ssentamu has filed an election petition against the Electoral Commission, the Returning Officer Kampala Central Musiime Doreen and MP-elect Nsereko Mohammed; saying that he is dissatisfied with the outcome of this election that took place on 14th January 2021.

Through Semuyaba, Iga and Company Advocates, Nyanzi argues that the said election was not conducted in accordance with the Electoral laws.

“There was noncompliance and failure to conduct a free and fair election, which affected the results in a substantial manner,” Nyanzi states thorough his lawyers.

According to the National Unity Platform member, the Election was marred with wrong postings of results on Declaration Forms at some polling stations by the Presiding Officers, mathematical and arithmetical mistakes that arose as a result of vote stuffing orchestrated by Nsereko and that the Returning Officer never indicated on her Return for Transmission of Results Form, why the final tally never included several polling stations hence committing an electoral offence.

Nyanzi wants Court to set aside Nsereko's Election,  declare him(Nyanzi) as the validly elected MP for Kampala Central, or order for fresh elections or a vote recount.

Nyanzi also wants the Retuning Officer and Presiding Officers of the affected polling stations to be reprimanded.

Nyanzi who polled 15,975 votes was in the MP race for Kampala Central with four other contestants including Nsereko who emerged winner with 16,998.
