In their prayers to the Tribunal, Kahuma and Abdikadir seek an order quashing the declaration of Ndebwoha as Guild President-elect, a forensic audit of the university’s voting system and E-Learners Portal, and a decree nullifying the election and ordering a fresh poll.
Two students have petitioned the Election Petition Tribunal at Victoria University, seeking to nullify the outcome of the institution’s 9th Guild Presidential elections held on February 17 and 18, 2026.
The petitioners, Mujungu Marvin Kahuma, a Year 2.1 student, and Hafsa Abdirahman Abdikadir, filed Election Petition against Mugarura Isaiah Ndebwoha and the Victoria University Electoral Commission.
Kahuma and Ndebwoha were both duly nominated and recognized as candidates for the 2026/2027 Guild Presidency. However, the petitioners contend that although Kahuma scored the highest marks during the vetting process and met all the required standards, his rival allegedly did not meet the same threshold but was nevertheless cleared to contest.

According to the petition, the campaign period was marred by repeated breaches of electoral guidelines by Ndebwoha’s team. The petitioners further allege that on voting days, members of the declared winner’s camp continued campaigning and coerced students to vote, contrary to the Guild Constitution which requires campaigns to cease 72 hours before polling.
The petition also raises concerns about the integrity of the electronic voting system. The petitioners describe the votes garnered by Ndebwoha as “a mathematical fiction born out of a compromised system,” citing what they term as an abnormal increment of more than 100 votes per hour.
They further allege that prior to the elections, Ndebwoha and his teammates had promised to hack into the voting system, claims they say were realized through identity theft and digital manipulation on polling days.
The Electoral Commission is accused of failing in its duty of integrity and impartiality by allowing the voting system to remain active despite alleged unauthorized access to student accounts.
Before filing the petition, the students say they wrote to the Vice Chancellor requesting an investigation into the alleged irregularities.
The petitioners also challenge the legality of the declaration of results, arguing that the Guild Constitution requires the winner to be declared within three hours of the close of voting. They claim that the declaration of Ndebwoha as winner was made during a meeting at about 7:00 p.m. on February 18, fell outside the stipulated timeframe.
In their prayers to the Tribunal, Kahuma and Abdikadir seek an order quashing the declaration of Ndebwoha as Guild President-elect, a forensic audit of the university’s voting system and E-Learners Portal, and a decree nullifying the election and ordering a fresh poll.
