The National Unity Platform party scored a big win in Kawempe North yesterday. Their candidate, Elias Nalukoola Luyimbaazi, beat everyone else with 17,764 votes. Henry Makabai, who runs elections in Kampala, shared these results with the public. The National Resistance Movement candidate Faridah Nambi came in second place with 8,593 votes.

All other candidates received much fewer votes in comparison. Hanifah Karadi Mulerwa ran as an Independent and earned 381 votes. Engena Stanley, another Independent, received just 22 votes. The Democratic Party's Henry Kasacca Mubiru collected 100 votes, and Muhammad Luswa Luwemba gained 240 votes. FDC party member Sadat Mukiibi earned 239 votes, while Ismail Musiitwa from the People's Progressive Party ended up with 39 votes. Independent runner Muhamood Mutazindwa gathered 186 votes, and Moses Nsereko, also Independent, finished with 32 votes.

The election faced many problems throughout the day. Reports spread about cheating at voting stations and fights breaking out in several areas. These issues became serious enough that major news companies called their reporters back from covering the event. They worried about the safety of their staff members as tension grew at different polling places.
