Uganda’s Parliament has put on hold the nomination process for selecting representatives to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) through a by-election.
The suspension was detailed in a notice dated March 28, 2026, canceling the previously planned nominations on March 30 and 31.
“Notice is hereby given that nomination of Members for the by-election of Uganda’s representatives to the East African Legislative Assembly… has been suspended until further notice,” the statement declared.
It was signed by Adolf Mwesige Kasajja, Clerk to Parliament. No explanation was given for the abrupt halt.
This development leaves the timeline for filling the EALA seats uncertain.
