ATTORNEY General Kiddu Makubuya won a landslide victory over his two rivals in the Katikamu South NRM race, beating them in all the sub-counties.

Makubuya, who has been the area MP since the NRM came to power in 1986, beat his former campaign managers Habib Suleiman, a teacher from Bombo, and Erasmus Musisi, a district councillor from Nyimbwa sub-county.

According to the provisional results declared in Luwero on Wednesday, Makubuya scored 12,288 votes against 5,502 for his closest rival, Musisi.

Makubuya led in almost all the 202 polling centers.
Musisi led in his home sub-county of Nyimbwa, while Suleiman led at a few polling centers in the predominantly Nubian community of Bombo.

Musisi, who accepted the defeat, said he lost ‘honourably’
