Electoral Commission completes Mukono LCIII declarations
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has taken the majority of LCIII chairperson positions across several districts in Uganda, according to final declarations cited by local media.
In Mukono District, the Electoral Commission concluded the declaration of LCIII chairperson winners in all contested sub-counties, bringing to an end a closely watched phase of local government elections.
NRM dominates seats; Independents record gains
District Returning Officer Emily Amongin announced the winners, with NRM candidates winning most of the available LCIII chairperson slots in Mukono. The final tallies also indicated that Independent candidates made gains in a number of areas, reflecting shifting local dynamics in some sub-counties.
LCIII chairpersons play a key role in Uganda’s local administration, overseeing sub-county governance, service delivery coordination, and implementation of district-level programmes.
The completion of declarations in Mukono is expected to allow local councils to move toward formal handover processes and the next steps in setting up administrative teams for the new term.
