In its first ruling on Patrick Kyamukate Mutabwire's petition, the NRM Election Disputes Tribunal found errors including 46 votes wrongly added to Jacqueline Mbabazi's tally but held that she still led by seven votes, so the result stood, according to The Observer. The ruling was later reviewed and the election nullified.
