We have been told that president Museveni has suspended his special assistant for political affairs, Jacob Asiimwe over his failure to campaign for NRM candidate in the recently concluded Luweero district woman MP race, Rebecca Nalwanga.

The race was won by DP’s Brenda Nabukenya. It is said that Jacob Asiimwe got 900 million shillings from statehouse to be used in parliamentary by election campaigns. But instead he turned the money to fund the parliamentary campaigns of his wife, Ms Asiimwe, who was the third runner up in the polls.

A source says that Museveni is furious because if Jacob had persuaded his wife to quit the polls, may be Nalwanga wouldn’t have lost the polls to DP’s Nabukenya.

Jacob Asiimwe has been suspended indefinitely until the president will decide to forgive him. During his suspension, he will not be accepted to earn salary from statehouse.

When Uganda electoral commission can accept vote recount

Gerald Businge — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 15:21:03 +0000

The electoral commission recently reinstated the Democratic Party’s Brenda Nabukenya as the genuine woman MP for Luweero district. Nabukenya had been declared the winner of the polls after the commission cancelled its earlier call for vote recount.

The National Resistance Movement candidate who was the first runner up, Rebecca Nalwanga in her application, had earlier contested the results declared by the district returning officer, Mr Peter Kasozi.

The district returning officer, Mr. Kasozi says that the vote recount was canceled because some of the ballot boxes were tampered with.

Kasozi says that Section 54 of the Parliamentary Elections Act of 2005 provides for a mandatory vote recount if the number of votes cast of the winning candidate and any other is not above 50.
