A Kampala High Court judge struck down Jimmy James Michael Akena's bid for a third presidential term within the Uganda Peoples Congress party structure. Justice Bernard Namanya ruled on July 18 that the nomination violated constitutional term limits after Dennis Adim Enap challenged the decision through judicial review.

The court determined that Akena served his complete first term even though earlier judicial proceedings had questioned the validity of that election process. This decision blocks Akena from future nominations and creates opportunities...
