{UAH} Court Orders Vote Recount For Dodoth East Constituency

The Kotido Chief Magistrate has ordered the Electoral Commission to recount the votes from Dodoth East County. The order follows a petition filed by the incumbent MP Samson Lokeris, who lost to Emmanuel Komol.

On Monday, Lokeris through his lawyers Alaka and Co. Advocates filed a petition against the Electoral commission seeking an inspection, and recount of ballot papers cast in the seven sub-counties. They include Lobongia, Kaabong town council, Lodiko, Loyoro, Kakamar, Kaabong West, and Lolelia.

He argued that the returning officer declared Komol as the winner 7,903 votes against his 7,892 votes with a marginal difference of only 11 votes. He adds that the tallying of results in the sub-counties was not conducted per the principals laid down in the provisions of the parliamentary act 2015.
