The Ugandan Judiciary has deployed 100 judicial officers to preside over 346 parliamentary and Local Council election petitions related to the 2026 electoral cycle. These cases are currently being processed across 30 High Court circuits, the Civil Division, and 26 Chief Magistrates' Courts throughout the country.
The assignment of these officers is intended to address the backlog of legal challenges arising from the elections. By distributing the caseload across various judicial levels and regional circuits, the Judiciary aims to facilitate the resolution of these petitions within the established legal framework.
