The Luwero district Returning Officer, Peter Kasozi has stopped the recount of the ballot papers citing tempering with the ballot boxes.

The National Resistance Movement party asked for the recount of ballot papers after its candidate, Rebecca Nalwanga was trounced by the Democratic Party’s candidate, Brenda Nabukenya in the 21^st November Luwero district Woman Member of Parliament by-elections.

Kasozi who had scheduled the recount of the ballot papers to today, found that one of the ballot boxes had been tempered with and immediately re-declared Nabubukenya the winner of the elections.

Kasozi asked NRM’s Nalwanga to petition high court if she felt the electoral commission has not been fair.

Nabukenya beat her close challenger, Nalwanga with only 30 votes after the former polled 14,945 votes but later on the NRM party said that their internal data showed that their candidate was leading with 50 votes and asked for a recount of ballot papers.
