The Electoral Commission (EC) has officially declared National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate Emmanuel Sserunjoji as the Mayor of Kawempe Division following a tense standoff that forced election officials to open sealed black boxes for verification and recount.
The announcement was made late Tuesday by Kampala District Returning Officer Jennifer Kyobutungi at the district tally centre located at Makerere University Business School (MUBS), Nakawa.
The delay arose after both Sserunjoji and National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer Faruk Bulime claimed victory in the closely contested race, sparking confusion and competing claims at the tally centre.
