The Court of Appeal is the final court to determine parliamentary and local council election disputes. The election appeals arose from the earlier decisions of the High Court in regard to the January 2021 General Election.
According to the Judicial statement released last on Sunday evening, four registrars will ensure that they handle conferencing for the appeals in a timely manner.
The four registrars are Susan Kanyange, Dr Alex Mushabe Karocho, Lillian Bucyana and Henry Twinomuhwezi.
According to Ms. Kanyange, the preliminary stages of conferencing will take not more than 21 days before actual hearings take off.
Additionally, some of the parliamentary election appeals today include that of Mr Julius Galisonga. She is challenging the decision of the High Court to dismiss his election petition against the incumbent MP for Bugweri, Mr Abdu Katuntu.
Registrar Kanyange also said the hearing of the said election appeals will take precedence over other business at the Nakasero-based court.
This is because the election laws demand that any other business can wait and court concentrates on disposing of election matters.
