“I have appointed persons listed below as Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, and Members of the Electoral Commission respectively, in exercise of the Powers vested in the President by Article 60 (11) of the 1995 Constitution.”

The letter also mentions the reappointment of Hajjati Aisha Lubega as the deputy chairperson and Stephen Tashobya as a commissioner.
