The returning officer declared NRM candidate Allan Bulamu winner of the Kira Municipality mayoral election with 17,170 votes, ahead of NUP's Norman Kaboggoza and incumbent mayor Julius Mutebi of PFF. Before the declaration, Kaboggoza and Mutebi accused officials of inflating Bulamu's figures and altering Declaration of Results forms, and The Independent reported that police initially tried to eject Kaboggoza from the tally centre.
