 Members of opposition political parties inUgandaare preparing themselves to vote their respective representatives in the East African Legislative Assembly come the month of April 2012. The chief Legal advisor of the Democratic Party, Mukasa Mbidde says that he is surprised that some people in DP are preparing themselves to vote on an order of court. “For me I am already an MP in East African parliament by court order and not as a subject of DP vote,” he told our informer yesterday. Mbidde says he is already MP because no organ of DP has appellate jurisdiction over the East African Court of Justice. He says that those DP members preparing to verse him should instead lodge an appeal with the court in question in order to over turn the court ruling than dressing up to a contest that never will. Mbidde says that those who know him would have expect him to have launched a deadly campaign if there would be any elections on the subject.

 The applicants in the case were two. DP seeking to have a right to front a candidate by court declaring the current law void. DP was represented by Mbidde. The second applicant was Mbidde seeking for a right to stand as a candidate on the ticket of the first applicant himself represented by his lawyer, Justine Semuyaba. The orders were passed and DP has a right to front a candidate and Mukasa Mbidde has a right to be the candidate.
