The 2001 Electoral Petition: A Turning Point in Uganda’s Democracy?

“In the fabric of history, each thread is a decision, each pattern an election, and each tear a petition that could have changed it all.”

Uganda Christian University (UCU) Kampala Campus witnessed an exciting event today, March 7, 2023, as the 25th Guild Government officials were officially sworn in. The long-awaited ceremony was graced by the University Vice-Chancellor, Assoc. Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, who urged the newly elected guild officials to be solution-givers and transformative leaders in the country.

As she handed over the mantle of leadership, Sserwadda stressed the importance of collaboration and communication between the DOSA’s office, the incoming guild government, and the student body to ensure effective governance and build upon the successes of the previous government.

The Uganda Christian University (UCU) Arua Campus’s directorate of student affairs (DOSA) has organized a retreat for the 20th Guild government. The retreat’s goal was to prepare the newly elected student leaders for office. The training took place at the Biku Retreat Center Goli, in Nebbi district.

The director of student affairs, Bridget Mugume, has declared Timothy Ddumba, a student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in information technology, as the 25th guild president of Uganda Christian University (UCU) after he garnered 53.35 percent of the recently concluded guild election.
