A n election petition filed by Mr Hassan Kamba, the loser in the Busia Municipality MP race, has been thrown out by the Busia Chief Magistrate’s Court as “baseless and lacking”.
Ms Masitula Namulondo, the chief magistrate, last week, said the grounds raised by the applicant were insufficient.
“The matters raised in this application against the first and second respondent seeking a vote recount are insufficient and the application is hereby dismissed,” Ms Namulondo said.
Mr Kamba, who polled 3,411 votes against Mr Macho’s 3,507, had filed a petition seeking for a vote recount, claiming that the record from which the second respondent (Electoral Commission) was premised to announce Mr Macho was a forgery.
