How Anita Among ended up unopposed in Bukedea

Among’s rise began reshaping the political landscape in Teso after she defeated former internal affairs minister Rose Akol Okullu in the 2016 elections. Courtroom battles and EC rulings became central to the Bukedea district Woman MP race. Despite the controversies, Among’s political stature continued to rise.

But behind Among uncontested victory as Bukedea Woman MP lay a bitter legal battle, controversial judicial orders, and an appellate court rebuke that exposed cracks in Uganda’s electoral justice system.
