Anyone convicted of breaching electoral laws should be banned from contesting again, Democratic Party (DP) president John Sebaana Kizito has said.
“The person who wins such a case in the court should just assume office instead of holding byelections,†Sebaana said. Sebaana was on Friday officiating at the swearing in of Elisa Mukasa Nkoyooyo (DP) who worn the Goma sub-county LC3 chairperson byelection in Mukono district.
Nkoyooyo was sworn in by the assistant chief administrative officer for Mukono county, Hadijah Sebyala. Nkoyooyo was earlier removed from office on grounds of incompetence because he failed to elect his vice-chairperson.
At the swearing in, Nkoyoyo announced his executive that included one member from the ruling National Resistance Movement.
Nkoyoyo was, however, enraged when he realised that none of the sub-county councillors from the NRM had attended the ceremony.
