Over 76 Members of Parliament are on the verge of losing their seats if the Constitutional Court rules in agreement with a city advocate who says that their constituencies were illegally created and demarcated by the Electoral Commission.
City Advocate Andrew Tumusiime has petitioned the Constitutional Court for declarations that the 76 constituencies were not prescribed for and endorsed by parliament as required by the Constitution.
Tumusiime filed the petition against the Attorney General and the Electoral Commission which conducted elections in the said illegal constituencies.
He says the constitution empowers Parliament alone to prescribe and endorse new constituencies upon which the EC bases its decision to demarcate boundaries to conduct elections; which was not the case with the contentious 76 constituencies.
The elections which Tumusiime wants to be declared null and void are those from constituencies which were allegedly created between the period of 2011 and 2016.u

Allaah gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him."And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things." (6:17)
