According to ChimpReports, a court-ordered recount supervised by Masaka Chief Magistrate Albert Asiimwe gave NRM's Justine Nameere 25,502 votes against 23,176 for NUP's Rose Nalubowa, reversing the Electoral Commission's initial declaration of Nalubowa as winner after the 15 January 2026 polls. The article says several ballot boxes were set aside over suspected tampering and discrepancies in Declaration of Results forms, and that the opposition raised legal challenges.
