 Kassiano Wadri (Independent) has won the Arua Municipality parliamentary seat after getting 6,528 votes representing 38% of the vote in the by-elections.

Although Wadri was not able to cast his ballot as he’s still in police custody in Gulu, he beat 11 others, among them, Nusura Tiperu, a member of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party who finished second position.

Tiperu got 4,763 (27%) followed by Robert Ejiku (Independent) with 2,703 (15%). Bruce Musema of the FDC followed with 1,372 (4%).
