High court set Friday 28th as the date for delivering its verdict on the forthcoming city mayoral elections. Justice Lydia Mugambe announced the date on Friday evening after listening to lengthy submissions for and against the by-elections. Early this month, Erias Lukwago , the Lord Mayor filed an application in High court challenging the forthcoming by elections. It came after Electoral Commission announced April 17 as the date for the city mayoral by elections. Erias Lukwagowas controversially impeached from officer on 25 November. Prior to the special KCCA meeting, Justice Yasin Nyanzi issued a court order at 8:45 am stopping the meeting. Lord councilor Allan Ssewanyana took the effort to serve the meeting, but it was ignored by Frank Tumwebaze, claiming that it was fake. Katuntu submitted that Lukwago’s team did everything humanely possible despite being assaulted by mean looking police to serve the court order to the intended recipients including minister Tumwebaze and that they should not deny the same. He wondered why the respondents did not attach the ‘fake’ court order if at all it existed to prove their argument that councilor Allan Ssewanyana was flashing a ‘fake’ court at the minister to stop the impeachment process. Justice Lydia Mugambe cautioned EC against conducting nominations before her ruling on Friday 28 March, 2014. EC has set March 31 and April 1 as dates for nominations of the candidates for the mayoral by-elections.
