Acting Judge Gelase Kwemara Kafuuzi of the High Court in Mbarara dismissed the election petition of independent candidate Robert Mwesigwa Rukaari against MP-elect Christopher Bakashaba and the Electoral Commission, according to URN via The Independent. The judge found Rukaari had not shown that he served the petition on Bakashaba or made reasonable efforts to do so; the petition had challenged Bakashaba's academic qualifications.
