Rusaniya withdraws Kiruhura election petition

Jul 08, 2016

Sheila Mwine Kabaije said she is going to concentrate on working for the people of Kirihura

The former Kiruhura district woman MP Beatrice Barumba Rusaniya has withdrawn the election petition she filed challenging the election of her successor Sheila Mwine Kabaije. 

Rusaniya had dragged Kabaije to court saying that the election exercise was marred with a lot of rigging among other irregularities. 

Her withdrawal document arrived in court shortly as the judge handling the case was contemplating dismissing the case.

Justice Winfred Nabisinde was concerned that Rusaniya the petitioner wasn't presenting any witnesses and had never attended court herself. 

Talking to the media after court, Kabaija said that now that the case is over, she is going to concentrate on working for the people of Kirihura.
