Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Seven candidates were fully nominated by the Electoral Commission (EC) to contest in the Busongora South county legislative by-election in Kasese District.<\/p>\n

Kasese District EC returning officer, Ismail Takih Atwijukire said three other candidates that picked nomination forms did not show up for the two-day activity ended Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The by-election for Busogora South County came after the seat fell vacant on June 21 when the Court of Appeal ruled that Mr Gideon Thembo Mujungu (NRM) was irregularly elected.<\/p>\n

Among the nominated candidates are Opposition NUP\u2019s, Jackson Mbaju, Aloysius Baguma Kighema (FDC), Bernadette Businge DP), and ruling NRM party aspirant, Thembo Mujungu.<\/p>\n

Those nominated as independent candidates include Juma Munezero, Doreen Izagiire and David Mulindwa Isimbwa.<\/p>\n

Mr Munezero who had earlier shown interest to stand on the ANT ticket decided to be nominated as an independent saying that the ANT party did not facilitate his nomination.<\/p>\n

The other three aspirants who had picked nomination papers and declined to show up for nomination include Frank Asiimwe Barozi (Ind), Apollo Kabogere (Ind) and Julius Bwambale Ruboya (Ind).<\/p>\n

Kasese District EC returning officer Mr Atwijukire said \u201call nominated candidates will run electoral campaigns from August 10-16 ahead of the poll to be held August 18.\u201d<\/p>\n
