The Electoral Commission disqualified 12 parliamentary candidates and 11 aspirants from the Makindye Division mayoral race, leaving one candidate unopposed. Most of those affected belong to the opposition National Unity Platform. Some candidates plan to challenge the decisions in court. A senior lawyer says only the High Court can overturn the rulings if candidates prove the commission breached electoral law during nominations.
