The Electoral Commission has announced a major change in the race for the Busiro East constituency. The Commission has disqualified Mr. Mathias Walukagga, who was the National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate. Mr. Walukagga was hoping to run for re-election, but he is now out of the race. Why Was He Disqualified? The Electoral Commission stated that Mr. Walukagga failed to meet the minimum formal qualifications required. This means he did not have the necessary basic documents or educational papers needed to run for office under the law. In short: The rules say candidates must have certain qualifications, and the Commission found that Mr. Walukagga did not meet those essential requirements. This decision means the NUP will have to quickly find a new candidate, or the election for the Busiro East seat will proceed without Mr. Walukagga on the ballot.
