Is This Justine Nameere’s Final Month as Masaka City Woman MP? See The Evil Things She Did To Muhoozi

The political future of Masaka City Woman MP Justine Nameere is now under intense scrutiny, with a court battle over her election victory scheduled to enter its substantive hearing on September 22, 2026.

The question is no longer merely political: can Nameere retain her parliamentary seat if the High Court finds that the recount that declared her winner was unlawful?

Former Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) Secretary General Daudi Kabanda has publicly challenged Nameere’s victory and expressed confidence that she could be removed from Parliament through an election petition.

Kabanda has argued that Nameere did not genuinely win the Masaka City Woman MP race and that the people of Masaka City should be given another opportunity to choose their representative through a by-election.

However, the final decision rests with the courts, not Kabanda or PLU.

The legal challenge was filed by National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate Rose Nalubowa, who initially was declared winner of the January 2026 election. The Electoral Commission initially announced Nalubowa with 25,443 votes against Nameere’s 20,324.

Nameere challenged that result, leading to a recount supervised by Masaka Chief Magistrate Albert Asiimwe.

The recount dramatically altered the outcome. Nameere was declared the winner with 25,502 votes, while Nalubowa received 23,176 votes.

Nalubowa has since taken the dispute to the High Court, challenging the recount and arguing that the process was irregular and should not have resulted in Nameere being declared the winner.

The court has scheduled the matter for hearing, placing Nameere’s parliamentary position under renewed legal scrutiny.

The development makes September potentially one of the most consequential months of Nameere’s political career.

The pressure is coming from another direction as well.

Nameere’s increasingly public confrontation with Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has added another political dimension to the controversy.

Muhoozi recently warned that Nameere could be removed from Cabinet if her conduct continued to raise concerns. He later demanded an apology from the minister, further escalating an already tense political confrontation.

Kabanda has meanwhile inserted the disputed parliamentary victory into the broader PLU confrontation, openly questioning whether Nameere legitimately won the seat and calling for a by-election.

There are also political claims that PLU has already identified Sarah Kiyimba as a possible candidate to carry the party’s mantle should a by-election eventually be triggered.

That, however, remains a political plan and does not mean that a by-election has been ordered.

For now, Nameere remains the legally recognised Masaka City Woman MP.

The High Court has not removed her from Parliament, nor has it ordered a by-election. The case remains before the court, and its outcome is yet to be determined.

What makes the situation particularly explosive is the timing.

The election petition is now moving into a critical stage at the same time that Nameere is facing mounting political pressure from figures associated with PLU.

If the court upholds the challenge against the recount and finds that the election outcome cannot stand, the political landscape in Masaka City could change dramatically.

A by-election would then open a completely new contest, with PLU already being linked to Sarah Kiyimba as a potential contender.

But until the court delivers its ruling, any claim that Nameere has already lost her seat remains premature.

The question hanging over Masaka City is therefore straightforward: will Justine Nameere still be the city’s Woman MP when this political storm settles?

For now, the answer lies in the courtroom.
