Kampala — The Court of Appeal yesterday upheld the election of three MPs whose victories had been contested for various electoral reasons. The same court overturned the judgment of the Masindi High Court which had nullified the election of Mr Kiiza as MP for Masindi Municipality. The same court upheld the election of Mr Wambedde as the MP for Bungokho North County in Mbale District. The three-judge panel upheld the decision of the High Court in Mbale and dismissed the appeal of NRM's Mr Peter Mashete Magomu. The court said the appeal had no merit and ordered Mashete to pay costs of the suit to Wambedde.
