The chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Justice Simon Byabakama has today released the final results of the recently concluded presidential elections.

While releasing the final results, Justice Byabakama said that the provisional results of the Presidential Elections were announced cumulatively in the order in which they were being received, leading to a declaration by the Commission, based on the total number of 33,461 polling stations, which had been duly received and verified before the expiry of the 48 hours.

“These stations account for 96.47% of the total number of polling stations (34,684) across the country. The declaration met the legal requirements of Section 57(4) of the Presidential Elections Act, which provides that a candidate shall be declared as President if he or she has obtained more than fifty percent (50%) of the valid votes cast at the election,” Justice Byabakama said.
