Kawuma polled 186 votes while the incumbent Kiwana garned 83 votes in a heavily guarded election that started at Mid-day after carefully verifying names of registered voters.
After the voting exercise, Kiwana addressed the media conceding defeat putting the blame on Electoral
Commission acusing it for altering the voters register where even people who don’t reside or work in his his Zone.
” The Electoral Commission still conived with my closet competitor Kawuma having changed the authentic register replacing it with a defrauded one,” Kiwana said.
The Deputy RCC in charge of Kampala Central Division Ali Shafic Nsubuga cautioned both parties the winner and the loser to work together for the coherent service to the residents of the village. He said there’s need to ensure peace and security in the area and this can only happen when the long time serving LC keep on advising the in coming.
Kawuma the chairman elected pledged to render the service without discrimination basing on political, religious beliefs or ethnicity.
The earlier Kasaato Village election was nullified by the Electoral Commission after the incumbent Nkoyoyo Kiwana petition the Commission citing irregularities such ineligible voters found in the voters register.
