Holding and result

The Court found that the applicants had established a prima facie case that the intended elections for the Kyabazinga of Busoga could be conducted in a manner inconsistent with the traditions, customs, and aspirations of the Basoga people. The Court held that allowing the elections to proceed before the determination of Constitutional Petition No. 11 of 2008 would risk irreparable harm to the cultural rights at issue and potentially render the petition nugatory. The balance of convenience favored maintaining the status quo to prevent prejudice to the applicants' rights and interests. Accordingly, the Court exercised its discretion to grant a temporary injunction restraining the respondents from conducting the elections until the final disposal of the petition or further orders.

Questions and positions

Legal issues

Whether the applicants are entitled to a temporary injunction restraining the respondents from conducting elections of the new Kyabazinga of Busoga under the Constitution of Obwakyabazinga Bwa Busoga, 2000 or any other arrangement not in accordance with traditions, customs, cultures, wishes and aspirations of the Basoga until the final disposal of Constitutional Petition No. 11 of 2008.

Party arguments

Applicant
The applicants argued that the respondents intended to conduct elections for the new Kyabazinga of Busoga in a manner inconsistent with the traditions, customs, and aspirations of the Basoga people. They contended that such actions would irreparably prejudice the pending Constitutional Petition No. 11 of 2008 and undermine the cultural rights protected under the Constitution. They sought a temporary injunction to preserve the status quo until the petition is determined.
Respondent
The respondents opposed the application, arguing that the process for electing the Kyabazinga was lawful and in accordance with the Constitution of Obwakyabazinga Bwa Busoga, 2000. They asserted that there was no imminent threat of irreparable harm and that the applicants had not demonstrated sufficient grounds for the grant of a temporary injunction.

05

Court’s reasoning

  1. 01

    Order 41 of the Civil Procedure Rules; case law on interlocutory injunctions.

    A temporary injunction may be granted where the applicant demonstrates a prima facie case, likelihood of irreparable harm, and that the balance of convenience favors the applicant.

  2. 02

    Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995; Constitution of Obwakyabazinga Bwa Busoga, 2000.

    Protection of cultural rights and observance of traditional customs in leadership selection is recognized under the Constitution.

06
