Former Kampala Mayor Nasser Ntege Ssebaggala has expressed interest in contesting for the City Lord Mayor seat in case a by-election is organized.
The Lord Mayor seat fell vacant following the impeachment of Erias Lukwago by councilors on Monday.
Ssebaggala who missed out on a cabinet post for lack of required qualifications accused Lukwago of having failed to deliver.
According to Ssebaggala, Lukwago concentrated on fighting the government on streets instead of cooperating to deliver tangible services to city dwellers.
Ssebaggala now awaits the Electoral Commission’s announcement of the nomination date to pick the papers to contest.
The electoral body has embarked on preparations to fill the vacant position of Kampala Lord Mayor.
Jonathan Taremwa, the Electoral Commission Spokesperson told New Vision that they received a letter from the KCCA executive director, Jennifer Musisi, notifying them that the seat of the city Lord Mayor is vacant.
“We have received the letter from KCCA and we shall proceed as per the law stipulates,” Taremwa said.
A special KCCA council meeting chaired by Frank Tumwebaze, the Minister for the Presidency and Kampala, impeached Lukwago.
