The Court of Appeal has nullified the election of Polycarp Ogwari as Mp for Agule County and declared his political opponent David Ochwa as the area MP.
This is after Court established that Polycarp was nominated illegally by the Electoral Commission in the 2021 elections.
According to the decision delivered by court Ochwa shall take office immediately .
Ochwa’s victory arises from a successful appeal challenging Polycarp’s victory on ground that he was wrongly declared the winner of the parliamentary seat 3 years ago.
In their judgement , Justices Fredrick Egonda-Ntende, Eva Luswata, and Oscar Kihika have agreed with Ochwa saying that Polycarp was illegally nominated since he only possessed a Certificate in Electrical Installation obtained after Senior Four by the time he was nominated
