Jinja Chief Magistrate, Ms Catherine Agwero, has dismissed without costs a petition filed by NRM s Robert Kanusu seeking a recount of votes from 22 polling stations, after losing the Jinja City Mayoral elections to Mr Peter Kasolo Okocha of the National Unity Platform (NUP).
In her ruling on Monday afternoon, Ms Agwero said the petitioner (Mr Kanusu) had not indicated in his application what exactly the court should address.
“This court finds no background, the petitioner has no vital information and I therefore dismiss the case without costs,” ruled Ms Agwero.
Mr Kanusu was represented by Martin Asingwire of Asingwire & Co & Advocates, while Mr Kasolo was represented by four lawyers, including Mr Alex Luganda (lead lawyer), Mr Abed Nassar Mudyobole and Mr Stephen Muzuusa.
