The High Court at Mpigi has dismissed the election petition filed by National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate Hillary Innocent Kiyaga, confirming Amelia Anne Kyambadde as the duly elected Member of Parliament for Mawokota County North.
In a ruling delivered on November 13, 2026, Justice Jamson Karemani Karemera found that Kiyaga failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate claims of electoral malpractice and collusion.
Kiyaga, popularly known as Dr. Hilderman, had challenged the Electoral Commission’s declaration of Kyambadde as the winner of the 2026 parliamentary race. In his petition, Kiyaga alleged that Kyambadde did not resign from her role as Senior Presidential Advisor on Industry prior to her nomination and accused election officials of altering Declaration of Results (DR) forms.
Kyambadde’s legal team and the Electoral Commission refuted the claims during the hearing, maintaining that the election complied with electoral laws.
With the dismissal of the petition, Kyambadde retains her parliamentary seat, having won the January poll with 27,075 votes against Kiyaga’s *24,801 votes. Give us feedback on this story through our email: kamwokyatimes@gmail.com
