In short
Kyamadidi who lost the Rwampara county parliamentary seat to Charles Ngabirano who scored 24.990 votes against 21607 has not conceded defeat and vowed to fight on through high court in order to have the out come of the election overturned.
The Rwampara member of parliament, Vincent Kyamadidi on Friday filed a fresh election petition before the Mbarara High Court.
On Thursday evening the Mbarara chief magistrate court dismissed the first application filed by Kyamadidi with costs of UGX100 million shillings.
Justice Miriam Ayo dismissed the case on grounds of failure by Kyamadidi to prove to court that the recent elections were full of fraud and rigging adding that court could not waste time on matters without proof.
Kyamadidi who lost elections on February 18th rejected the poll results and petitioned to Mbarara magistrate court seeking for a vote recount.
He complained that his agents were told to leave the polling stations by security agents and other NRM party leaders who supported his rival Charles Ngabirano.
Lawyer Frank Kanduho of Kanduho and co-Advocates who represented Charles Ngabirano challenged Kyamadidi to show how he acquired the declaration forms when he never had the agents on every poling station.
