NRM Tribunal Upholds Hon. Hellen Adoa’s Victory as Serere District Woman MP Flagbearer
Serere District – The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Election Disputes Tribunal has dismissed a petition challenging the election of Hon. Hellen Adoa as the party flagbearer for the Serere District Woman Member of Parliament seat.
The three-member panel, chaired by John Musiime, delivered the ruling on August 12, 2025, declaring:
“The petition is hereby dismissed. The declaration of Hon. Hellen Adoa as the duly elected NRM flagbearer for Serere District Woman Member of Parliament is hereby upheld.”
The Tribunal concluded that the petitioner, Esther Lucy Acom, failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate allegations of electoral malpractice during the recently concluded party primaries.
Hon. Adoa, the incumbent Woman MP and Minister of State for Fisheries, welcomed the decision with gratitude and optimism.
“My great people of Serere, I am delighted to inform you that the NRM Election Disputes Tribunal has upheld our victory as flagbearer for the District Woman MP seat, as you overwhelmingly decided on July 17,” she said. “We thank God for His grace that has prevailed throughout. As 1 Samuel 7:12 says: Ebenezer — Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
The Minister further appealed for unity among constituents, stressing the importance of collective effort toward development and political success.
“I urge us all to remain united for our district’s development and stay focused for ultimate victory in the General Elections. Serere District oyeee! NRM oyeee! President Museveni oyeee!”
With the ruling, Hon. Adoa now turns her attention to the forthcoming general elections, where she seeks to retain her seat and continue representing the people of SERERE district.
