Hoima District- In a highly competitive election, Mugisha Uthman Mubarak has secured victory as the newly elected Hoima District Chairperson. This pivotal election followed the tragic passing of the former chairperson, Kirungi Kadiri, and his bodyguard, PC Bosco Otim, in a devastating road accident.

The election results, announced by Kasande Merab, the Hoima District returning officer, confirmed Mugisha Uthman Mubarak's triumph. The detailed figures are as follows:

- Aguuda Moses of the NUP party garnered 3,972 votes.
- Mugisha Uthman Mubarak, representing the NRM party, secured an impressive 18,363 votes.
- Independent candidate Mugume Lenox earned 179 votes.
- Muhumuza Vincent Savanna, also an independent candidate, received strong support with 12,020 votes.
- Musinguzi Patrick of the FDC party gathered 271 votes.
These figures paint a clear picture of the electorate's preferences in the Hoima District elections.

The by-election was necessitated by the untimely demise of the former Hoima District chairperson, Kirungi Kadiri, aged 47, and his 25-year-old bodyguard, PC Bosco Otim. The tragic incident occurred on Friday, March 18, around 10 pm at Mataagi village, Bukomero Town Council, along the Hoima-Kampala highway.

ASP Faridah Nampiima, the PRO of the Traffic and Road Safety Directorate, provided insight into the accident. The fatal collision transpired when a Prado Land Cruiser with registration number UAH 053Q, occupied by Kirungi Kadiri, was heading towards Kampala. It collided head-on with a Fuso Truck bearing the registration number UBB 059Z. The truck was transporting pavers and was en route from Kampala to Kiboga. The truck driver, yet to be identified, fled the scene after the accident.

The tragic incident serves as a somber backdrop to Mugisha Uthman Mubarak's victory in the Hoima District chairperson elections. As he assumes this pivotal role, the people of Hoima District will undoubtedly look to him for leadership and direction in the days ahead.
