Uganda Young Democrats President-elect Michael Mpunge refuses to accept what he calls fake election results. Mpunge says he won the youth wing leadership race with 486 votes against his opponent's 460 votes. Independent observers and party agents confirmed his victory during public counting. Electoral officials stuffed ballots and allowed multiple voting during the contest. Kennedy Mutenyo later announced different numbers at a press conference without explanation.
Mpunge rejects the fraudulent declaration and pursues legal action to defend delegate votes. The dispute mirrors problems with Norbert Mao's controversial presidential election victory. That contest featured ballot switching and mysterious extra voting boxes during counting in Mbarara. Democratic Party faces serious questions about internal democracy and fair elections. Multiple legal battles threaten to destroy Uganda's oldest political party before 2026 elections.
