What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The High Court in Kampala has nullified Ivan Wafula's victory as Makindye East II Lord Councillor, citing irregularities in the January 25, 2021 elections.

Justice Musa Ssekaana ruled in favour of the National Resistance Movement's (NRM) Yasini Omari Assini, declaring him the winner.

"The nullification of the 2nd respondent's nomination removes him from the contest, and this leaves the appellant (Assini) who was the second best candidate or runner-up on top of the list," Justice Ssekaana stated.

Mr Wafula was disqualified due to lying under oath about his qualifications. The court discovered discrepancies, including a disputed Uganda Certificate of Education and a lack of required A-level qualifications for his Diploma in Education.

Mr Assini had appealed the initial results, claiming he won the election with 2,277 votes, while Wafula received 1,753 votes. However, the Electoral Commission's returning officer allegedly altered the results, wrongly declaring Wafula the winner.
