The voting day for the Jinja Municipality East parliamentary by elections will be held on February 9th this year according to the programme the electoral commission has issued. The nomination exercise is already over.
The seat went vacant after the High Court nullified the election victory of Nathan Igime Nabeta over voter bribery.
Over three candidates are eying for the seat. These include Nabeta (NRM), Mwiru Paul (FDC) and Mufumbiro Waiswa (DP).
The electoral commission chairperson, Eng. Badru Kiggundu says that the commission expects the voters to remain peaceful during and after the exercise.
