Why court upheld Nameere’s vote recount election victory

“Having considered the law governing court-supervised vote recounts together with the learned chief magistrate’s findings as recorded in the certified proceedings, I find that the decision to proceed with the recount after it became apparent that the security and integrity of several ballot boxes and other essential electoral materials had been compromised amounted to non-compliance with the electoral law and was inconsistent with the safeguards,” Justice Namanya said.

Minister Nameere expressed joy, while Nalubowa said she would appeal. (New Visio/Files)
