eight voters from Bubulo West constituency in Mbale have petitioned the Electoral Commission, challenging the nomination of Gyabi Bukeni as a parliamentary candidate.
In the petition, the voters said Bukeni’s nomination was an irregularity since he is a civil servant on interdiction and has not tendered in his resignation. He has also been drawing his salary since September, they said.
