​

The High Court in Kampala has struck out a petition filed by NRM’s Faruk Bulime challenging Kawempe Division Mayor Emmanuel Sserunjoji’s election over alleged nomination irregularities.

In a ruling delivered on October 13, 2026, Justice Flavia Nabakooza found that the petition was legally defective and failed to disclose a valid cause of action.

The judge said Bulime amended his petition without court permission, introducing fresh allegations after filing the original petition on the final day of the statutory deadline.

The court consequently struck out the petition and ordered Bulime to pay the costs of the application and petition to Sserunjoji and the Electoral Commission.

The ruling highlights the importance of following court procedures and statutory deadlines when filing and amending election petitions.
