Mbarara, Uganda | LOUIS JADWONG | Andrew Akashaba caused a major upset at the Uganda Veterinary Association (UVA) elections in Mbarara on Friday. Akashaba made full use of his ‘home ground advantage’, winning the presidency by 111 votes to his nearest challenger Ben Ssenkeera from Kampala who managed 59 votes.
Akashaba, a veteran of Makerere University student politics, is the UVA Western Chapter President and was technically the full host at Las Vegas Hotel in Mbarara for this week’s farmers exhibition, symposium and AGM. Ssenkeera is former UVA treasurer and was favourite to take over from Daniel Kasibule, who has finished his mandated two terms.
The rest of the contests for other positions were very close, just three votes to determine the vice president for example, but in all, the incumbents and status quo, were thrown out.
